The little girl is adventurous, courageous, and kind and knows how to have fun. No spoiler here, but an unexpected friendship is the outcome of this incredibly gorgeous tale told only by the artwork on the pages. How will she escape? How will she return home? Amongst the world’s beauty, there is also danger, and an evil emperor captures the girl. Using a colored marker, she creates ways to navigate this unknown place: a boat, a balloon, a flying carpet, and a tandem bike. When a young girl draws a magic door on her bedroom wall and goes through it with her red marker, she leaves a drab-colored world and enters a magical world filled with color and adventure. Journey is one of those books-it’s both wordless and wondrous. And sometimes, there are no words in the actual book itself. Sometimes there are no words to describe a book.
