Retired Kid, The

Firefly & Fern Summary

In this delightfully absurd picture book, a young boy decides he's tired of the responsibilities of childhood and retires to live a leisurely life of relaxation and contentment. Through Jon Agee's witty illustrations and humor, children discover that sometimes slowing down and appreciating life's simple pleasures—like napping, snacking, and doing absolutely nothing—can be surprisingly satisfying. A funny, heartwarming story about finding joy and peace in an unexpected way.
