Among the many publications reviewing the book were the Financial Times on 19 August 2016 and the New York Times on 26 August 2016.īecker published "A Stone for Sascha" in May 2018. The final book of the trilogy, Return, was released in August 2016. Sam Juliano, in his popular Wonders in the Dark blog, also remarked on Quest's likelihood of Caldecott attention.

Quest, the second book in Becker's Journey trilogy, was among a small group of children's books praised by National Public Radio (NPR) in anticipation of the announcement of the 2015 Caldecott Award nominees. He is best known for his wordless children's book Journey, which received positive reviews in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and a Caldecott Honor in 2014. The first book in a trilogy, Journey by Aaron Becker, won a most prestigious award-a Caldecott Honor Book in 2014.Aaron Becker (born 1974) is an American writer and illustrator of children's books. She will inspire you to take your own imaginative journey if you can tear yourself away from this incredible book. The little girl is adventurous, courageous, and kind and knows how to have fun. No spoiler here, but an unexpected friendship is the outcome of this incredibly gorgeous tale told only by the artwork on the pages. How will she escape? How will she return home?

Amongst the world’s beauty, there is also danger, and an evil emperor captures the girl. Using a colored marker, she creates ways to navigate this unknown place: a boat, a balloon, a flying carpet, and a tandem bike. When a young girl draws a magic door on her bedroom wall and goes through it with her red marker, she leaves a drab-colored world and enters a magical world filled with color and adventure.

Journey is one of those books-it’s both wordless and wondrous. And sometimes, there are no words in the actual book itself. Sometimes there are no words to describe a book.
