The Truth About Stories Leah Byrd

In the spirit of The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore and The Incredible Book Eating Boy comes an imaginative debut picture book about the power of story. Each evening as the first lightning bug blinks awake the library begins to stir. Inside, the fluttering pages whisper of fairy tales and sea monsters, of white rabbits and hot air balloons-leading you to worlds that are quite unlike the one you sit in now. With a whisper of whimsy and a wee bit of wonder, The Truth About Story is a celebration of the ways stories shape us, grow with us, and connect us. Brought to colorful life by Samantha Rapp's exuberant illustrations and Leah Byrd's lyrical text, this beautiful book is the perfect baby shower gift for the book lovers in your life.
