Description

"Take the pictures you find here, and use them as places to begin your journey into stories. Wonder about them, wander through them. Let them hold your hand and whisper to you... Let them bring you into stories and make magic." --Neil Gaiman, an excerpt from the book's foreword


Stories are doorways, and there are no limits to where they may lead. This is a handbook for you to create countless stories. Its fantastical illustrations are the beginnings of magical new adventures. But there are no accompanying words, because you, the storyteller, are the missing ingredient!


Here are 52 intricate illustrations--of intriguing characters and animals, strange lands, and mythical beings. Open to any page and imagine what is happening, what has been, or what can be! Whether you're exploring the images on a road trip, before bedtime, or as a classroom activity, every tale you tell will be wildly unique and 100% yours.

Featuring a foreword by Neil Gaiman, this is a one-of-a-kind storytelling book that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike!

Critical Reviews

""You will be the storyteller," navigating through this exquisite wordless picture book whose images suggest deep tales, but do not over pronounce their parameters. Each feathery illustration plays with proportions and subverts expectations: giant owls tower over buildings; koalas lounge on drifting autumn leaves. A girl walks a cloud on a leash. A woman takes in tea, bathed in the light of a rising sun. A mouse rises to the stars. What's going on behind these magical scenes? That's for you to decide!
