This is one of the most beautiful, strangest, most intriguing children’s books I’ve ever read. It begins with a bird flying through a dark sky, while a young person in white is getting ready… for what exactly? Nothing about the narrative is handed to you, but you’re pulled along as the bird makes progress and the young person is clearly waiting for something. I don’t know whether to classify this as fantasy or science fiction. Or maybe it’s unclassifiable.
The back cover says “Let Your Imagination Fly.” If engaging the imagination was Vidal’s goal, she’s succeeded. The art is delicate, sophisticated, and clearly done with great care. (Some of it is watercolor, and some colored pencil, I think?) Absolutely worth reading with a child, or on your own.

Shockingly amazing. I picked this up because of the cover. Definitely a one on one read with lots of conversation.
There's no part of this book that is handed to the reader, you have to work it out yourself. It's refreshing and lovely.

Non-traditional. Beautiful. Art. Imagination. Only pictures. Personal relationships.

Beautiful watercolour illustrations anchor this story of imagination. I found the time stamps an odd inclusion.

Stunning, masterful artwork! The storyline leaves a lot for the imagination. Using this book as a writing prompt for elementary through high school kids, I'd love to see what they come up with!

A breathtaking, sweeping story that unfolds and transforms as magically as the characters transform.

A simple, wordless tale - other then the time stamps. But Beatriz Vidal's art is always beautiful and stunning.

Wow! There are no words, but the art is sufficient to tell the story. Beautiful art, the story of flight, of fantasy...Mesmerizing.

A picture book with no words. Intriguing and calls out to be "re-read" over and over again. The more you do, the more you'll see.
