We live in a time with a lot of flash and beep and tweets. Mr. Becker has made a beautiful reminder that there are times we need to turn it off. Sometimes we need a book, some quiet, and our imagination. It’s so well done.

“I fell into this breathtaking adventure and didn’t want to leave. This is a book of extraordinary magic and beauty.”
— Julie Danielson, Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
