​TITLE: ONE CAN BE
AUTHOR: Pat Zietlow Miller
ILLUSTRATOR: Annie Cron
PUBLISHER: Beaming Books, 2025
OPENING LINES:
 One.
Alone.
No one else nearby.
 
One.
Needs peace.
Sometimes.

This poetic, lyrical picture book features a child who embraces alone time yet can also find the beauty of connecting with others. Alone. Pat Zietlow Miller’s spare text is and ode; a soothing poem about the many things one can be. Paired with Annie Cron’s pastel illustrations in shades of pink, lavender, and green, the book tells a more structured story of a girl who appreciates and enjoys alone time, but then joins her community to learn, teach, share, connect, and come together to build something they can all enjoy. This beautiful book is on the quieter side, making it perfect for a bedtime story or a sweet lap-time read snuggled with your little one.
