Journey
by Aaron Becker
Buy on AmazonRecommended by
"Lonely in her sepia-colored room, a young girl breaks through the boredom by drawing a door on the wall. The adventure begins as she enters into a world of wonder and excitement. Here, she risks her life to secure the freedom of a mysterious purple bird — and in doing so makes way for a surprising friendship. This absolutely gorgeous wordless picture book is a testament to the skill of author/illustrator Aaron Becker. As Journey ends, you’ll want to immediately return to the beginning to experience it again. (For ages 4 to 8)"
