A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book for 2010

A dark attic. A light bulb. An imaginative little girl.

Internationally acclaimed artist Suzy Lee uses these simple elements to create a visual tour de force that perfectly captures the joy of creative play and celebrates the power of imagination. Stunning in their simplicity, Lee's illustrations, in just two shades of color, present an adventure that begins and ends with the click of a light bulb.

Lee is a natural at drawing children. Her pictures evoke a timeless charm reminiscent of Crockett Johnson and Sheldon Mayer. The girl's expressions and poses are those of a child, not those of an adult shrunken in size. More impressive than Lee's cartooning, however, is her understanding of the properties unique to the printed book as storytelling devices.
