Pete Peanut and the Trouble with Birthdays is a book that's seeking funding via Kickstarter. What caught our eye were the meticulously crafted sets in the video, which features midcentury design in miniature. The authors Mimi O. Chun and Sean Hewens were inspired by a trip to Palm Springs Modernism Week. "All of the homes were perfectly preserved, the way you might imagine them in the 60s," Chun says. "Despite all of the visitors in town for the event, there was a stillness to Palm Springs that seemed like the perfect backdrop for Pete Peanut, who is the quiet type of peanut—a contemplative sort who understands that not all change is good, regardless of whether or not it involves birthday cake."
