A Child of Books

written by Oliver Jeffers, illustrated by Sam Winston

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?

I personally ADORE this book! The use of text to create much of the illustrations is genius - especially if you have a chance to read some of the miniscule type. This story embodies how I feel about books and their importance!
