The book that will transform kids' feeling for books.

Emily Dickinson likened a book to a "frugal frigate" that could sail away with you to the unknown lands of imagination.

Albert Einstein's opinion was that "imagination is more important than knowledge."

"A book is a little thing.
It seems like just a bunch of paper. It has a cover, a title, words.
Sometimes drawing, too"

What Is a Book is about the world of imagination that goes far beyond the pieces of paper with words.

As we see that a book can be an aeroplane, a blanket, a mirror, a window... we see that each of these metaphors is about moving from our known self to a place that is wonderfully stimulating and comforting too. A book is a brick, a swing and a sandwich. When you find out why, you'll know why all of us treasure what a book can do for us, where a book can take us, what a book can teach us.

This is both an important book for children and a reminder to adults of why we have loved and honored books, and why they are so important.
