Cool, clever, and full of heart, THE COOL BEAN is a funny and affirming picture book about fitting in, standing out, and discovering that kindness is the coolest thing of all.
Â
Everyone knows the cool beans. They wear the trendiest clothes, say the right things, and always seem effortlessly awesome. And then there’s this bean - the has-bean. Awkward. On the sidelines. Trying everything (and failing) to be cool enough to belong.
But when the cool beans finally notice what’s been going on, they do something unexpected. Instead of shutting him out, they show him what being truly cool really means - lifting others up, including everyone, and being kind.
Written by Jory John and illustrated with bold, expressive flair by Pete Oswald, this third book in the beloved Food Group series blends laugh-out-loud humour with an empowering social message.
A positive message about kindness, empathy, and inclusion, perfect for classrooms, story-time, and conversations about friendship, The Cool Bean reminds readers that you don’t have to be “cool” to matter - you just have to be kind.
