I Wrote you a Note by Lizi Boyd

A young girl write a note and we watch it take a journey as it encounters all sorts of animals who see this letter in many different ways. Turtle uses the note as a sail for his raft; duck makes a dock for her ducklings; spider uses it as a bridge; squirrel tries to read the note and so did goat but goats can't read; while snail thought it would be a good house and dragonfly had a similar idea. Eventually the wind lifts the note into the sky and when it tumbles back to earth the note finally reaches the intended recipient.

What did the note say? You will need to find the book in a library to discover the answer.

This is another one of those books that I knew nothing about - I had not seen it before and I did not know the author/illustrator BUT the cover really caught my eye. This book was published in 2017 so sadly I do have to say it is now out of print.  Here are some other books illustrated by Lizi Boyd.
