Brief Description:
A playful wordless story about the power of imagination and creativity in
play A child zips up their orange suit, pulls on a pair of boots, and
adjusts their hat. They’re ready for an adventure. But where are they
going? With the push of an elevator button, their adventure begins, and
they’re transformed … into an astronaut! The child takes one small step
into a barren landscape. Then one giant leap. Soon, they’re hopping around
a strange new planet and scaling space mountains. But they’ve got an
important mission–finding their lost spaceship! In their search, the
astronaut discovers colorful space creatures of all shapes and sizes.
Suddenly, a blizzard hits, and the astronaut races through the storm right
into … the school hallway! The little astronaut was a child on their way
to school, and the space odyssey was all part of their imagination. This
inventive and satisfying new wordless picture book from acclaimed author
and illustrator Thao Lam celebrates a child’s talent for making the mundane
magical. Thao’s signature storytelling style is dynamic, engaging, and
rewards close observation. Keen-eyed readers will spot clues in the
illustrations that reveal what’s really going on and feel inspired to
creatively reframe tiresome tasks.
