Wordless Picture Book
This follow-up to the beautiful Journey has our newly established duo thrust into an adventure when a King pops through a portal (drawn by his own bright orange magical wand) gives them a map, and is dragged back through by soldiers - dropping his wand in the process. The map shows a rainbow of colors building as it passes through different locations, and now we're on a whirlwind quest to retrieve the magic color wands before the evil troops can get to them.
Beautiful and imaginative, and a lovely adventure story in fantastical locales with larger-than-life characters. The ending especially makes me think longingly of how I would read and re-read Narnia as a child, wishing that it were real.
Simply stunning. I truly hope he continues the adventure!
