A family discovers a trunk of old paintings by Uncle George, each
drawn from a single line using an enchanted pen. Wallace Edwards
explores storytelling through a single line that grows into a new image
and story on each page, inspiring readers to finish the simple stories
or come up with their own.
One rainy night, Wally's family finds an old steamer trunk in the attic.
Inside is a pile of paintings drawn from a single line from an enchanted
pen. They could only belong to Uncle George, who believed that all
stories begin with one line and a rich imagination.
Award-winning author and illustrator Wallace Edwards explores the world
of storytelling through a single pen line that grows into an image and
the first line of a new story. Readers will be inspired to finish the
simple stories that begin with Once Upon a Line or use the enchanted
story line to tell their own unique tale. A key at the end of the book
identifies the single line that is at the core of each image.
An absorbing book filled with paintings rich in detail and color.
