ACHUKA Book of the Day 16 Feb 2026

Publisher: Gecko Press
ISBN: 9798765670538

“Mϋhle’s text, translated from German, is frank and straightforward, mirroring the bluntness of a child’s interactions and emotions, including Badger’s helplessness as he’s caught between the two battling friends. Spare watercolor and colored pencil illustrations set against stark white backgrounds match the tone of the text. Notably, this is no morality tale with a neat and tidy ending; rather, it’s a strong example of what not to do that honestly explores the consequences of jealousy and stubbornness. A candid and authentic glimpse at the rocky road that is negotiating social interactions.” KIRKUS

A charmingly comical picture book in which three forest friends debate vital childhood questions: who’s allowed to play, what game, and who decides…

When Weasel comes home, he can hardly believe his eyes: Bear and Badger are playing. But Badger is Weasel’s friend!
Badger suggests the three friends play together. But Bear and Weasel can’t agree on anything: not football, not memory, not hide and seek. Weasel never follows the rules. Bear always wants to be in charge.

Set in a charming outdoor forest house, this picture book is a  battle of wills between friends.

Tomorrow I’m in Charge! by Jörg Mϋhle. Weasel wants to play with Bear and Badger, but rule-breaking and bossiness turn their games into a battle of wills – Daily new children’s book #kidlit #BookOfTheDay #ad https://t.co/eW2Kp1VU4U
