Publisher's Synopsis
Two children stumble across a red book lying on the ground. When they start turning the pages their dusty world begins to change: everyday objects become magical, the dreary landscape turns in a fantastical setting. Freya Blackwood's lyrical watercolors show how the magic of reading can transform reality: you can ride a chicken, float in a teacup, get lost in a forest of light poles and travel on an empty plastic bottle turned into zeppelin... And at the end of the wonderful voyage, an underprivileged community is united by the act of communal reading.
