The text of this book, as with all truly special picture books, reads like a poem.
"Wonder walk? Sure.
Is the sun the world's light bulb?
Is fog the river's blanket?
Do mountains have bones? Are forests the mountain's fur?
I wonder ... Me too."
My favourite lines read: "Is the wind the world breathing?" "Is the moon the world's night-light?"
Beautifully rendered — and wonderful in every way. Horn Book
