Library Media Connection
Stunning yet simple, this book entices its readers to ponder its delicate illustrations with simple text such as "how to go fast" and "how to see the wind." The simplicity of the text generates a dialogue between the book and its readers. More of a meditation than a story, the author's intent in creating a peaceful, thoughtful book for young readers is aptly accomplished through the use of endearing illustrations and, when appropriate, creative text features. Although other titles exist in this genre, this title is superior in its ability to capture the creative outlook of childhood while still providing accessibility to its young audience. The straightforward approach to the subject matter avoids sentimentalizing yet provides a platform for both child and adult readers to wonder and reflect. Its multidimensional nature allows it to serve several functions including use as a read-aloud, discussion/activity starter, and bedtime book.
