The Reader Hardback

Illustrated by Lauren Castillo

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

In this timeless picture book, a new reader trudges through deep snow with a mysterious suitcase in tow.

He has something important to share with his faithful companion, who bolts ahead to wait at the top of a tall hill.

Our small hero climbs higher and higher, until finally, he is there, too.

Then he opens his suitcase-click, click-and soon the only sound in the world is the sound of the reader reading their very favorite book to the very last page...the very last word. Amy Hest's spare evocative text is a true celebration of new readers and good friends everywhere, while Lauren Castillo's pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations, with their bold saturated colors against winter white, perfectly capture the wonder and delight of this magical day.
