Who is making all that NOISE??
WAIT... SHHH. DO YOU HEAR THAT?
Put your ear to the ground. Can you feel that rumble?
It started as a tiny tickle in the floorboards, but now it’s getting louder. Somewhere deep beneath your feet, there is a furious scratching coming from the earth’s core—like a thousand paws digging for treasure all at once.
And just over the horizon? There’s a giant, wet SPLASH hitting the shore, sending bubbles and salty spray flying into the air.
The world isn't just spinning—it’s starting to dance.The playground is shaking, the map is getting messy, and the ordinary rules? Well, they just went out the window. We are about to go off-road, underwater, and totally out of bounds.
Are you ready to meet the chief noise-makers?
What does Ibby do when he feels blue?
Ever wonder how an octopus cheers himself up when he’s feeling blue? He gets moving!
But poor Ibby finds that regular exercise just isn't his thing. With eight arms and a lot of heart, standard push-ups just end in a tangle. Join Ibby on a wobbly, wiggly adventure as he learns that staying fit doesn't have to be boring.
Ibby the Octopus shows little ones (and big ones too!) what happens when you let go of your fears, find your own rhythm, and wiggle your way to happiness.It’s time to discover that the best way to move is... your way!
When Bono digs a really deep hole, he discovers a whole new world to explore!

Starting in the heart of Tanzania, this dynamic duo digs their way across the globe. One minute they are at home, and the next? They might be tasting spicy treats in a bustling city or making new friends in a hidden village.
Packed with mayhem, mystery, and mouth-watering food, Dig Bono Dig is a global odyssey that proves the best discoveries happen when you get your paws a little dirty.
Grab a shovel and jump in—adventure awaits!

Who said libraries have to be quiet?
When Lavina comes to visit, we leave the "Shhh" at the door!
Get ready to turn your classroom into an ocean floor or the wilds of Tanzania. Lavina doesn’t just sit in a chair and read; she gets kids up, moving, and making noise.
From wiggling eight arms like Ibby the Octopus to digging for buried treasure like Bono, this is storytime with the volume turned UP.
It’s loud, it’s lively, and it’s the most fun your students will have with a book in their hands. Let’s make some noise!
My name is Lavina Gunamal , and I'm your Chief Dreamer (and Number-Cruncher)
By day, I’m deep in the corporate world, managing spreadsheets and juggling budgets.
But by night, I trade the calculator for a compass, following the map wherever Bono and Ibby take me. It’s a journey that began with a suitcase and a sketchpad, and now, it's dedicated to bringing a little magic to your bookshelf.
Since reading Dig Bono Dig, my son has spent every afternoon in the garden trying to find a tunnel to Tanzania. We haven't found the lions yet, but we have found a love for reading I’ve never seen in him before. A truly magical story.

Finally, a hero with eight arms!
We are obsessed with Ibby! My daughter now tries to put her coat, shoes, and backpack on all at once because 'Ibby does it.' It’s such a joy to read a book that is funny, sweet, and opens up the world in such a clever way.
