Would you like to get
away without leaving your front door? Is your child eager for adventure within
the pages of his or her bedtime story? If so, look no further than Journey by Aaron Becker, a 2014
Caldecott Honor Book about imagination, friendship, freedom, and adventure.
Our story begins with a young girl who feels bored and
lonely cooped up in her house. She’s sitting on her bed when she sees a red
marker lying on her bedroom floor. With this marker, she draws a magic door to
another realm, and her adventure takes off. The girl uses the red marker to
travel through air, space, and time until she meets up with an imprisoned
purple bird and decides she must set it free. As our heroine works to help the
bird, she meets up with an unexpected friend, and they begin a brand new
journey with their feathered friend through the magic kingdom together.
This story is a must-read for any child with an active
imagination and a love of telling stories. Journey
is completely wordless, which allows children to narrate the story themselves
and decide what they think the pictures mean. Check out Journey for beautiful,
easy-to-understand illustrations, a unique story time experience, and a powerful
message about how imagination can take us anywhere in the world we’d like to
go.
