The Boy and the Airplane

40 pp. | Simon | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4424-5123-0 $15.99
(3) K-3 A little boy's beloved toy airplane gets stuck on the roof, so he plants a seed in the ground, which, like him, grows, until he's an old man who climbs the tree and...ah, but there's a twist. This inspiring wordless book's refined, nearly colorless pencil and watercolor art keeps the focus where it should be: on the wonder of organic change.
