All-star authors Joanna Ho (
Eyes That Kiss in the Corners
) and Caroline Kusin Pritchard (
The Keeper of Stories
) team up with Caldecott Medalist and National Book Award Winner Dan Santat in this celebration of the freedom to read.
Arnold didn't mean for the books to disappear—not exactly. It all started because he liked
his
book about airplanes best. Why would anyone want to read about
tomatoes
or
ostriches
submarines
(ew, the worst!) when they could read about planes, instead?
When Arnold realizes—
POOF!
—he can make the other books vanish, he goes a
little
too far. Before he knows it, all the books are gone…including his. Can Arnold figure out how to bring them back before it’s too late?
This book about books celebrates themes of empathy, interconnectedness, and the value of diverse and differing perspectives.
