The Story of a Book

A gorgeous, joyful picture book following the lifespan of a book as it comes across different readers—and creates a kind of magic along the way.

A new book is

fresh ink on crisp pages

never opened

the words inside

just waiting to be read.

An incredible journey begins for every person who turns the pages. Together, book and reader make a special kind of magic—a magic that’s even sweeter when you share it!
