Description
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 Oliver Jeffers and 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—an immersive and unforgettable reading experience that readers will want to pass on to others.
This lyrical picture book inspires readers of all ages to create, to question, to explore, and to imagine.

This book is poetry! I mean, read this:
“We will sleep in clouds of song
and shout as loud as we like in space.
for this is our world we’ve made from stories…”
I say I bought this for my students, but truly, I bought this for myself. This book is stunning.

A children’s book that made me think about the importance of imagination. I enjoyed reading this children’s book. The illustrations were interesting with the use of various styles including written word from famous works of children’s literature to create pictures to enhance and tell the story. I was moved by the simple message that imagination is an important part in life and its adventures. This would be a good read for the young and old. I think we all could get something uplifting and positive from this simple children’s story.
