Tiny Joys: A Guide to Embracing Your Inner Coastal Grandmother

With its adorable illustrations and upbeat sentiments, this book serves as an instructional guide to those looking to enjoy the lighter side of life. Focusing on a top trend from 2022, called “Coastal Grandmother,” illustrator/author Vaz (Cottagecore/Galore) teaches readers how to find small ways to savor life and find comfort. This could include wearing coastal-inspired clothing, spending time outside, savoring good food, making a cozy home, and finding value in leisure and rest. Readers will enjoy the book’s aesthetically pleasing images with calming colors, like the depictions of delectable baked goodies and herbs to plant in your garden. The book also serves as a workbook, with several spots for readers to jot down their thoughts or doodles, so it may not be suited for a library purchase as patrons may be tempted to write in the book. But if your self-care section is popular and workbooks do well in your library, this could be the right book for you.
