A gorgeous, joyful picture book following the lifespan of a book as it comes across different readers-and creates a kind of magic along the way. A new book is fresh ink on crisp pages never opened the words inside just waiting to be read. An incredible journey begins for every person who turns the pages. Together, book and reader make a special kind of magic-a magic that's even sweeter when you share it! f-c jkt (coated; fx: spot gloss, emboss) matte film finish +int. ill.; digital
