Featuring 52 fantastical illustrations, this wordless picture book invites children, families, and educators to create wildly original stories together–turning every page into a new adventure and every reader into the storyteller. What happens when story time begins with a little glowing doorway under a bridge, a pair of koalas floating on an autumn leaf, or a giant mantis returning a library book? Absolutely anything! Inside this book are an infinite number of stories, waiting for you to bring them to life. You’ll find more than 50 magical hand-drawn illustrations–of strange lands, mystical creatures, curious animals, and intriguing characters. But there are no accompanying words, because you, the storyteller, are the missing ingredient. Open this book at any time, or on any page and let the rich details of each illustration become the beginning of an adventure you create. Whether you’re exploring the images on a road trip, before bed, or as a classroom activity, every tale you create will be completely unique and 100% yours. “A truly inspirational book that ignites the inner storyteller. Bedtime stories, creative writing, and fantastic conversations will abound!” –The Children’s Book Review
