The Story of a Book
by Joy McCullough (Author) Devon Holzwarth (Illustrator)
A gorgeous, joyful picture book following the lifespan of a book as it comes across different readers--and creates a kind of magic along the way.
A new book is
fresh ink on crisp pages
never opened
the words inside
just waiting to be read.
An incredible journey begins for every person who turns the pages. Together, book and reader make a special kind of magic--a magic that's even sweeter when you share it!
