Additional information
by Beth Kephart (Author), Olga Dugina (Illustrator)
Illustrated by the renowned Russian-born artist Olga Dugina, this fantastical picture book presents a world of flying lions and lavish parties, mythical creatures and beautiful schemes. As the pages turn, the text invites the reader in with a series of What if? questions that are both seemingly absurd and ultimately profound: What if you could fly? What if you were banging the cymbals in a ruckus parade? What if you fell asleep in the crooked arm of a tree and awoke to a scene like a dream? What if you could wish any wish at all? What if you could live your story again? National Book Award Finalist Beth Kephart's text draws attention to the rich, symbolic journey--and possibilities--suggested by Dugina's art. A book that begs to be read again and again, by both adults and children.
