From the publisher

The funniest (and totally not boring) picture book about a log that has ever existed, full of scientific facts and delightfully silly storytelling What’s so special about a log? It just sits there and does nothing. How boring! However, you may be surprised to learn that logs are anything but boring–they are an essential part of life in the forest. Logs provide shelter, become food, and even turn into a safe place for a new tree to grow. Told with humor and heart, I Am Not Boring shows how an old log is not, in fact, boring at all. This endearing, goofball picture book by author-illustrator Lena Podesta is subversive humor at its best. Factual back matter about log lifecycles is also included. While readers are giggling along, they’re learning about the importance of ecosystems–and believing in themselves.
