librarianryan 's review for:

A Child of Books by Oliver Jeffers, Sam Winston
5.0

Why doesn't Oliver Jeffers have more awards. Seriously. The guy writes picture books that make you want to rip your heart out and share it with everyone around. This time, a little girl is telling the reader what it is like to live in a world of stories. To be full of imagination, to dare, to dream, to be anyone you want. Add amazing illustrations, and this book should have a Caldecott medal on the front. Alas, it doesn’t, but read it anyway.
