Description

Children’s literacy advocate John Schu and Caldecott Honour recipient Lauren Castillo celebrate the power of finding the perfect book – in a story that’s relevant now more than ever.

This is a word on a page.

This is a page in a book.

This is a book on a shelf ... waiting.

With a seahorse kite in hand, a child heads out with Dad to the library. On the way, they stop at a park, joining lots of people, some of whom are flying kites too. At the library, a person toting a big pile of books hands over a story on a favourite subject: the seahorse. All around, there are readers poring over books, each with their own questions, ideas to explore, hopes for the future, and imaginations ready to spark.

With a warm, lyrical text and tenderly expressive illustrations, John Schu and Lauren Castillo invite us to imagine the myriad of ways that books can foster connection and understanding – and how they can empower children through their own passions to transform the world.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

This Is a Story by John Schu is praised for its captivating illustrations and its lyrical celebration of the power of stories and books. Reviewers highlight its ability to open readers' minds to the wonders of the world, depicting a visual journey that delights from start to finish.
