A love letter to books, showing how many elements and people contribute to making something beautiful, from Caldecott honoree Elisha Cooper

Multiple starred reviews: "An immediate classic."*  /  "Special...bringing the parts of the book together into one unified message."**  /  "A step-by-step representation of how a book comes into being."***

In this poetic and beautifully illustrated ode to creativity and the process of making books, Caldecott honoree Elisha Cooper takes readers on a journey showing how words and art move from one person to another.

From writer to reader, and everyone who contributes in between: Here is a book, made with love.

An artist’s studio overflows with sketches, drafts, a wastebasket, and wonder.
A publisher’s office hums with computers, layouts, coffee, and teamwork.
A printer makes a layout into a book using presses, ink, paper, and time.
And that book travels to a school, to a library, to a student, to a home.

* Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books; **Booklist; ***Publishers Weekly
