Let's Do Nothing!

Two best friends who've already played every game, baked every cookie, and painted every picture decide to try something harder: standing perfectly still and doing nothing for ten whole seconds.

For the kid who cannot sit still for even a second, this book turns that exact struggle into the funniest challenge in the world.

• Big idea: Stillness is harder than it looks — and that's exactly why it's funny.
• Vibes: Silly, physical, deadpan — comedy that unfolds mostly in the pictures.

• like to act out what's happening
• enjoy reading the pictures as much as the words
• are working on sitting still and self-control
• respond well to silly, exaggerated humor

• Story & problem-solving: What made it so hard for Frankie and Sal to do nothing for ten seconds?
• Imagination: What have you and your best friend already played, baked, or painted together?
• Real-life connection: Have you ever tried to sit still and just couldn't? What happened?
• Art & noticing: What clues in the pictures tell you how Frankie and Sal are feeling, even without words?
• Try it yourself: Want to try doing nothing for ten seconds right now? Ready, set, go!
