A 2014 Caldecott Honor Book
Follow a girl on an elaborate flight of fancy in a wondrously
illustrated, wordless picture book about self-determination -- and
unexpected friendship.
A lonely girl draws a magic door on her bedroom wall and through it
escapes into a world where wonder, adventure, and danger abound. Red
marker in hand, she creates a boat, a balloon, and a flying carpet that
carry her on a spectacular journey toward an uncertain destiny. When she
is captured by a sinister emperor, only an act of tremendous courage and
kindness can set her free. Can it also lead her home and to her heart's
desire? With supple line, luminous color, and nimble flights of fancy,
author-illustrator Aaron Becker launches an ordinary child on an
extraordinary journey toward her greatest and most exciting adventure of
all.
