Journey (Aaron Becker's Wordless Trilogy, 1)

Product Information

Red marker pen in hand, she creates a boat, a balloon and a flying carpet which carry her on a spectacular journey. In this exquisitely illustrated, wordless book, an ordinary child is launched on an extraordinary, magical journey towards her greatest and most rewarding adventure of all.

With Journey, he has created characters and worlds of his very own, using traditional materials and techniques.Maybe I’m justifying everything, but it seems to me that Becker was trying more than anything else to have a bad guy who was easy to spot (note the golden helmet) and that looked different from the residents of the water-based city. The father and the girl both have looks of shock on their faces when they meet in the fantasy world. Prepare for the journey of a lifetime, perfect for anyone interested in history, migration, and human adventure! Spying a spot of colour in the shape of a red crayon, she draws a door through which she escapes to a green forest, illuminated by sparkling lights and blue lanterns, threaded through with a stream which leads her to the next stage of her journey, once she has drawn a red boat. Aaron Becker; creator of the stunning Journey; presents the next chapter in his luminous wordless fantasy.

Don’t forget to have a launch party with invitations and refreshments, and make sure your exhibits are well-labelled and catalogued.After sailing through a town built on a series of canals, she encounters a group of soldiers flying in zeppelins are trying to catch a vivid purple bird. All three of us sat around the dining room table, not reading the wordless pages, yet fully enthralled by this wonderful adventure of a girl escaping loneliness and the doldrums of daily life with a stick of magic chalk. In a large, clear space, explore repetitive motions before creating a giant working ‘machine’ by combining individual actions. If you ever read my reviews, you know that I am not a big fan of wordless books (Bluebird being a prime example of my dislike).

And the innocence she emotes juxtaposed with the inherent strength and power she possesses give you a such a sense of pride. Using the forest in the book as a guide, paint a magical woodland backdrop and create some fabulous birds.Be swept away on an elaborate flight of fancy in this Caldecott award-winning, wondrously illustrated picture book about self-determination and unexpected friendship. Frustrated by the confines of her everyday life, the girl discovers a magical red crayon that opens a portal to a whimsical world. The series begins with Journey, a wordless picture book that invites readers to join a young girl on an extraordinary adventure. I checked my local library and saw that they had the first two books available so I decided to check them out. And there’s even a falling-and-drawing-a-hot-air-balloon sequence that is straight up Harold, no question.
