With a maximum of one word per illustration, a book should be pretty simple, but this book proves that theory wrong. Starting and ending with “the plan” and changing or adding only one letter at a time, the pictures take you through a family’s connection, loss, and adventure in the space of just a few page and even few words.

Especially good for encouraging wannabe and emerging readers, no matter how long you’ve been reading this book is filled with good tips. My favorite might just be “Step 3: Find a cozy reading spot” which includes suggestions for including either hot cocoa or icy lemonade in your reading space. This is a cute, humorous ode to one of our pillars and priorities!

I didn’t like the poems in this when I first saw it, though I really enjoyed the different artists’ visual renderings. But when I listened to the included CD and heard the poems sung, several of them clicked in a way the text didn’t. My personal favorite combination is Fall of the Year with art by Leo Espinosa.

It starts out, “When we travel, I count what I see.” The text tells an ostensibly simple story of a child’s travels counting standard children’s book fare: chickens, people, clouds, stars, and even a fox. But soldiers are not usually in picture books, nor are border crossings, day laborers, or the many things shown in the illustrations but never mentioned in text. This gives a very human touch to the story of undocumented immigrants.

It can be hard to share a message without being didactic, especially when you only have 32 pages and a young audience to serve as boundaries, but this one does it well. Red Crayon’s label obviously says red, so no one can figure out why everything comes out blue. But when allowed to venture outside the restrictions of red, its true colors really shine.

Simple text takes readers through the water cycle in a easy to understand way, while the illustrations made me want to crawl inside them and go exploring. From siblings tormenting each other, families connecting, and multi-legged and winged creatures wandering about, the images tell a story beyond the words.
