A Child of Books

A Child of Books

"This is an editor favorite for its inventive illustrations and story that explores the wonders of books. It's great for children beginning to experience the joy of reading independently." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

New York Times best-selling author-illustrator Oliver Jeffers and fine artist Sam Winston deliver a lyrical picture book inspiring 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 boyâ€™s imagination. Now a lifetime of magic and adventure lies ahead of him . . . but who will be next? Combining elegant images by Oliver Jeffers and Sam Winstonâ€™s typographical landscapes shaped from excerpts of childrenâ€™s classics and lullabies, A Child of Books is a stunning prose poem on the rewards of reading and sharing storiesâ€”an immersive and unforgettable reading experience that readers will want to pass on to others.
