Review

"Done in watercolor, gouache, and ink, the simple, streamlined pictures are rife with invitations to peek inside, to investigate further, and-like a hall of mirrors-reflect, refract, repeat, and reveal. Lehman's story captures the magical possibility that exists every time readers open a book-if they allow it: they can leave the 'real world' behind and, like the heroine, be transported by the helium of their imaginations."

Publisher's note

In illustrations of exceptional detail, a young girl crosses oceans and continents to meet a new friend, in a wordless book-within-a-book story.

Annotation

A little girl strolling down a snowy city street on her way to school notices a red book in a pile of snow. When she gets to class, she opens it and sees a picture of a lush tropical island. Each turn of the page offers a closer view of this paradise until a boy on a beach appears. He finds a red book in the sand, and opens it to see a snowy city skyline that gets closer with every page until he gradually zooms in on a school's windows and sees the girl sitting in class. The boy and the girl are looking at each other through the pages of their books, and smile at one another. After school, the girl buys enough helium balloons to float through the sky until she reaches the boy on his island. This wordless story is told entirely through full-color ink-and-wash illustrations. A 2005 Caldecott Honor Book.
