Return by Aaron Becker
A #1 New York Times bestseller!A Wall Street Journal 20 Best Children's Books of the Past 20 Years Selection
Welcome the much-anticipated finale of Caldecott Honoree Aaron Becker's wordless trilogy--a spectacular, emotionally satisfying story that brings its adventurer home.
Failing to get the attention of her busy father, a lonely girl turns back to a fantastic world for friendship and adventure. It's her third journey into the enticing realm of kings and emperors, castles and canals, exotic creatures and enchanting landscapes. This time, it will take something truly powerful to persuade her to return home, as a gripping backstory is revealed that will hold readers in its thrall. Caldecott Honor winner Aaron Becker delivers a suspenseful and moving climax to his wordless trilogy, an epic that began with the award-winning Journey and continued with the celebrated follow-up Quest.
When Aaron Becker was a kid, he fantasized of visiting castles. He was fortunate enough to visit the fortified island of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, when he was ten years old. That visit prompted him to build the opulent castle seen throughout the Journey trilogy many years later. Aaron and his family recently returned to Europe, where he finished the watercolor paintings included in this book.
