A book so glad to be opened that it has started to hum.

This bookish sticker turns an open book into a wide-eyed little character, with a rainbow ribbon of music notes floating up from its pages. It is drawn for readers who keep a playlist running through every chapter.

The design: a bookish sticker with a smiling storybook and a tune of its own

The book lies open with its cream pages spread, and a face stretches across both of them: two big round black eyes with white sparkle highlights and small lashes, pink ovals of blush and a small open smile. The page edges fan out at left and right, and the cover shows underneath in coral pink and purple.

From the pages, a wavy ribbon banded in coral, mustard and teal curls up toward the right like a music staff. Riding on it are a pink eighth note, a large teal beamed note and a few smaller notes in mustard and pink.

Rounded bubble capitals in coral pink spell WHISPERED in a curve across the top, while TALES runs along the bottom, each letter set off by a black drop shadow and a white outline. Small hearts and four-point sparkles in pink, purple, teal, mustard and red fill the gaps, and bold dark outlines hold the kawaii cartoon together. The pages carry no title and no author, so the book can stand for whichever story you are halfway through.

Opaque vinyl with a border that hugs the art

• Kiss-cut: the white border runs around the letters and the book as one shape
• High-opacity vinyl that blocks out an older sticker or a patch of paint beneath it
• Goes on without trapped air under the film
• Durable vinyl, suited to daily use
• Before applying, clean the spot you have chosen

Who it's for

Bookworms who read with headphones on, audiobook listeners, school librarians, music teachers who also run the reading corner, and anyone whose two answers to "what do you do for fun" are novels and songs. The listing photos show it on a laptop lid; a reading log or a flat notebook cover would also work. To give it, try a classroom reading-challenge prize, a letter to a pen pal, or the envelope of a graduation card for an English major.

Quick answers

What does each size option actually print?

The art is close to square, a touch taller than wide: about 2.5″ × 2.6″ on 3″×3″, 3.3″ × 3.5″ on 4″×4″ and 4.6″ × 4.8″ on 5.5″×5.5″. On 15″×3.75″ you still get one sticker, about 3.1″ across, with blank sheet either side.

Is this a music sticker or a reading sticker?

Both, with reading first. The character is a book, and the notes rising from its pages bring in the music, which suits anyone who pairs a novel with a soundtrack.

Is the sticker itself seasonal?

No. A few photos are staged with Halloween-style or holiday-style props, but the sticker carries only the book, the notes, the lettering, hearts and sparkles, so it fits any month.
