2024 PA One book: Slug in Love tells the story of Doug the Slug, a slug on a quest for a hug, and features lively and expressive illustrations perfect for young audiences. Through a heartwarming message of self-acceptance and the expression of emotions, the book captures the essence of the PA One Book mission to instill a love for reading at an early age. Public libraries and certified early childhood education programs across Pennsylvania will be provided with a copy of the book in early 2024.
