The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

I stumbled across The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore at my library job recently and was captured by the picture book's depth and beautiful imagery. Writer and illustrator William Joyce takes us on a heartwarming journey that follows the life of book lover Morris Lesmmore. One day, after a period of loss and confusion Morris is gifted a book that slowly begins to color his world (and our pages!). He follows the book to a library where he becomes the caretaker of many great stories. As the years pass, Morris is entrusted with sharing these stories with others. Magic and whimsy fill Lessmore's life until the last page - but what will become of the story he's been writing all along? Look for this special book in your local library or ask to inter-library loan it. I guarantee you and your child/ren will love it as much as my son and I did.
