About the Book

So you want to build your own library? A million stories high? Sure. Bathtubs? Absolutely. A full-service sundae bar? Of course. Everything is possible in this library - just like in books. Author Lindsay Leslie puts the reader in charge as the architect of a fantastical library in this imaginative picture book celebrating libraries and the joys of reading.

About the Author :
Aviel Basil graduated from the Shenkar College of Design in Tel Aviv, Israel, with a degree in graphic design. He has illustrated more than a dozen children's books and created art for magazines, advertisements, and apps. His style and bright palette are inspired by 1950s illustration. He works and lives in Tel Aviv. A diary keeper, a journalism major, a public relations executive, and a children's author--Lindsay Leslie has always operated in a world of written words. She likes to bring her unique outlook on life, quirky humor, and play with words to every book she writes. Lindsay is the author of multiple picture books, including This Book is Spineless, Nova the Star Eater, and Dusk. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, two boys, two fur-beasts, a guinea pig, and a tortoise.

Review :
Believing that "there is no better place on Earth than where stacks and stacks of books are kept," a brown-skinned child with a ponytail imagines engineering a library of their own. The child scouts a picturesque waterside location, snags materials such as a table and a vehicle, then asks myriad fanciful characters (a red-haired giant, two brown-skinned sprites) to help with the build. Once the library is erected--it's a haphazard towerlike structure replete with a slide--the protagonist fills the space with the expected (books on myriad topics), the realistic ("LOTS and LOTS of ladders"), and the unlikely (a sundae bar, waterslide, and zip line). Slick, unlined art by Basil in lemony yellow, mauve, and baby blue matches Leslie's enthusiastic text, portraying fanciful figures--a sloth on skates, a snail in a baker's toque, a guitar-playing waterfowl--emerging from a book. Kids often find autonomy in reading, an idea that these creators take to its logical extreme--and a tack that young library lovers intent on calling the shots are sure to appreciate. Ages 4-7. (Aug.)-- "Publishers Weekly"
