What if every excuse you made suddenly appeared in front of you?
Kev is a sweet little kiwi with rosy cheeks who loves playing, eating, resting-and putting difficult things off until later.
Whenever Kev makes an excuse, a yellow piece of paper appears inside his cozy burrow. At first, one little paper does not seem like a problem. But soon the excuses begin piling up, hiding his favorite toys and making it harder to join his friends outside.
With gentle humor, playful sounds, and a lovable animal character, this illustrated story follows Kev as he discovers that a big task can feel much easier when he begins with one little job at a time.
Perfect for kids ages 3-6, this warm picture book offers families a natural way to talk about starting tasks, caring for belongings, following through, and continuing when something feels difficult.
Inside this book, families will find:
- 14 colorful illustrated scenes
- A funny and expressive main character
- Familiar situations young children can recognize
- Playful sound effects for an engaging read-aloud
- A gentle message about building helpful habits
- A story designed for sharing between children and grown-ups
A thoughtful choice for family reading, preschool story time, daily routines, or a special gift for a young child.
Join Kev as he learns that even the biggest pile can begin to disappear with one simple action.
