A Child of Books
Jeffers, Oliver
A Child of Books - Walker Books 2016 - 40p.
A Child of Books is a lyrical picture book that will inspire readers of all ages to create, to question, to explore, and to imagine. A little girl sails her raft across a sea of words, arriving at the house of a small boy and calling him away on an adventure. Through forests of fairy tales and across mountains of make-believe, the two travel together on a fantastical journey that unlocks the boy’s imagination. Now a lifetime of magic and adventure lies ahead of him... but who will be next? Combining elegant images by New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Oliver Jeffers and fine artist Sam Winston’s typographical landscapes, shaped from excerpts of children’s classics and lullabies, A Child of Books is a stunning prose poem on the rewards of reading and sharing stories. It's an immersive and unforgettable reading experience that readers will want to pass on to others.
