When author-illustrator extraordinaire Harris Burdick goes missing, all heтАЩs left behind are a series of images with accompanying captions, ideas for separate picture books.
But what can a picture of a nun quietly sitting in a chair floating in a cathedral have to do with a caption that says, тАЬTHE SEVEN CHAIRS: The fifth one ended up in France?тАЭ
Enticed to come up with their own endings, readers will marvel at the mystery behind these lasting drawings and the charm of an everchanging narrative.
Caldecott medal winner Chris Van AllsburgтАЩs call for readers to write their own stories will enthrall young minds again and again.
