Aaron Becker, creator of Journey, a Caldecott Honor book, presents
the next chapter in his stunning wordless fantasy.
A king emerges from a hidden door in a city park, startling two children
sheltering from the rain. No sooner does he push a map and some strange
objects into their hands than he is captured by hostile forces that
whisk him back through the enchanted door. Just like that, the children
are caught up in a quest to rescue the king and his kingdom from
darkness, while illuminating the farthest reaches of their imagination.
Colored markers in hand, they make their own way through the portal,
under the sea, through a tropical paradise, over a perilous bridge, and
high in the air with the help of a winged friend. Journey lovers will
be thrilled to follow its characters on a new adventure threaded with
familiar elements, while new fans will be swept into a visually
captivating story that is even richer and more exhilarating than the
first.
