“Oh man. This is taking rate my room into slightly creepy territory. But yes, I do love those books. | So I have finally finished all four volumes of Caro’s incredible work ‘The Years of Lyndon Johnson’ — and I now join the 1000s of folks kinda morbidly hoping he finishes volume 5 before he dies! “It doesn't matter how long a book takes, what matters is how long a book lasts."”

Consider The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Recommended by 8 sources.
“Soft-spoken, heavily illustrated fable built from short dialogues and watercolor sketches. Each spread pairs a spare line of text with a loose drawing, so the pleasure is visual and aphoristic rather than narrative; readers collect felt-true sentences more than plot. Most useful when you want quick consolations, a prompt for conversation with a child, or a pause during a rough day. Limiting if you want sustained argument, concrete advice, or tightly plotted storytelling: the repetition of gentleness can feel sentimental or thin after a while.”
