Every night before bed I read to my preschooler from a chapter book. He is totally obsessed with Laura Ingles Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods. Since being gifted it over the holidays we've read it cover to cover at least four times.
I think he's responding to the ✨vibes✨ in Little House. It's pretty cozy, lost of descriptions of the weather, nothing much happens.
Are there any similar books that are more contemporary? I may be looking for the book equivalent of one of the cozier Studio Ghibli films (Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service see a lot of action at our house). Suggestions don't have to be juvenile/ YA as long as the vibes are right.

Have you tried the books that inspired the Ghibli films? The original Kiki’s Delivery Service novel by Eiko Kadano has been translated to English since the film adaptation’s release. There is also Howl’s Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones
My kids loved the Wind in the Willows. It’s very cozy
