Journey

By Aaron Becker

A young girl feels ignored by her family because they all seem to be busy. She goes to her room and lays down on her bed. She spots a red crayon on the floor. Instead of coloring on paper, she draws a door on the wall of her room, and it opens. She steps through the door and is brought to a whole new world. She maneuvers through it with the help of her red crayon and even makes a few friends.

Journey is a wordless picture book. I found the illustrations to be extremely detailed and beautiful. Something I loved about the illustrations was the difference in the colors between when she was home, and when she stepped through the door. It was dark and had tones of brown, black, and white in the beginning. The only thing that stands out are her red toys. After she steps through the door, she is suddenly in a colorful forest with deep greens and blues. It was a very cute little story that I think kids would enjoy!
