Reader’s Review
Similar to the well-known children’s book Harold and the Purple Crayon, this is a wordless but beautiful picture book that shows the adventure of a young girl who, bored at home, draws a door and enters a spectacular journey where there is danger and kindness. The scenes in the book require creative thinking and an imagination to understand, and parents will enjoy exploring the book with young children.
To look out for

- Violence: In order to save a caged bird, the girl is captured by the king
