Searching for Woks

By Lucy Knisley. Published by Rocky Pond. 

Hardcover, 40 pages, Colour, 2026. 

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.
