What is so captivating about this picture book is the variety of influences you see in Becker's art, namely the Eastern influences, especially on the first full page spread where our protagonist enters the land of her imagination and you see paper lanterns strewn about the forest. Aaron Becker; creator of the award-winning Journey and its stunning; celebrated sequel; Quest; presents the final chapter in his luminous; wordless fantasy. Long before we had ventured to the library she was already cycling through books for EV every time she visited. With each turn of the page, Becker weaves a tale that transcends language, inspiring readers of all ages to dream, explore, and discover the power of creativity.

Becker proves himself an ingenious storyteller with an eye for detail and a knack for tantalizing ambiguity. With Journey he has created characters and worlds of his very own, using traditional materials and techniques.

With her mom cooking and yakking on the phone, her dad glued to his computer and her older sister consumed by some kind of electronic handheld device, there’s no one to play with.

All emerging and established members of the National Park City Family must agree to five commitments. Aaron Becker, creator of the stunning Journey, presents the next chapter in his luminous wordless fantasy.We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. An imaginative and lushly illustrated wordless picture book is Journey, but fortunately and unlike so many wordless offerings that tell more involved and nuanced tales, Aaron Becker's completely and utterly sans written text plot-line is while indeed intricate and densely rendered also NEVER so convoluted and visually distracting that following it to its conclusion becomes potentially difficult (which has often been the case for me with other story-heavy wordless picture books, namely that I do have the tendency to become visually lost without having words, without having an actual written narrative also presented, especially if the illustrations are not just simple and straight-forward line drawings).
