Ari Arranges Everything

Empower young children to let go of control and to embrace a little chaos in this delightful and humorous picture book.

Ari arranges absolutely everything.

For as long as anyone can remember, Ari has loved arranging things. From blocks to flowers to produce to unicorn toys, each arrangement feels perfect—though maybe not for everyone. But when Ari sets out to create the ultimate arrangement at the zoo, things don’t go quite as planned. Will Ari finally figure out the secret to arranging (or perhaps not arranging) everything in this humorous and delightful story?

• "It's a wonderful way to introduce the subject of different behaviors to children, and to make the point that it's okay not to be 'typical.' . . . Wonderful, and recommended."
  School Library Journal, starred review
• “Vernon’s painterly style beautifully builds Ari’s world in a gorgeous wash of colors, creating a joyful space. Overall, this book is a sweet, silly reminder that harmless mayhem can be fun. Arrange your bookshelf to make space for this one.”
  Kirkus Reviews
• "Full-page, saturated color illustrations are heavily detailed and filled with all the myriad items Ari feels compelled to organize. Children will want to closely study the pictures to discover all they contain."
