Imagination battles boredom (and wins!) in this funny, animal-packed picture book.
Gabi Swiatkowska has illustrated many notable books for children, including My Name Is Yoon, for which she received the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Award, and, most recently, Please, Papa, and Thank You, Mama by Kate Banks. She lives in France.
"For those children - or perhaps those parents - looking for offbeat fare to relieve their own boredom, this sophisticated exercise in stylization may prove just the ticket." --BCCB "A familiar story of imaginative play, but Swiatkowska's whimsical pictures set it apart." --Booklist "The emotional arc of the narrative are conveyed by the illustrations, a series of surrealist-style paintings of a world where oddities such as fish anchored by balloons sailing by the window appear unexplained." --The Horn Book "Swiatkowska's stunning artwork offers readers a fantastic, somewhat surreal glimpse of a very imaginative girl." --School Library Journal "Imaginative illustrations fuel this playful exploration of juvenile boredom." --Kirkus Reviews "A witty and eccentric portrait of ego run wild." --Publishers Weekly
