There are always precious objects to be found if you look, as the young child in this endearing, funny picture book knows. It's a portrait of youthful enthusiasm and the beauty of the everyday, created by a beloved, New York Times bestselling graphic novelist.

On a walk to the playground and back, a child keeps their eyes open for special Wocks for their collection. A bottlecap, a twig, and many stones make it into their pocket of treasures. It's a charming and relatable day in the life of a preschooler, illustrated in bright, happy artwork and jaunty dialogue—a book that all young collectors will adore.
