A Few Blocks
Ferdie doesn’t want to go to school, but go to school he must, and fortunately his imaginative older sister Viola paves the way. Told through the eyes of a child, an ordinary walk to school is transformed into a wonderful adventure. The children switch back and forth between their real walk to school and the elaborate fantasy world they imagine. A Few Blocks features Cybèle Young’s intricate 3-D paper sculptures which she has created from the paintings of actual street scenes. By the end of the story, the stuff of the imagination magically enters the everyday, finally delivering the children to school at last. Groundwood Books - $18.95 – Juvenile Fiction
