This Is a Story

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.
