My Thoughts

I LOVE a wordless picture book and this one does not disappoint. The story is told through panels with flashbacks depicted on full-page circles. There is so much to explore and discuss! 

Why are some characters shown in color and others in black and white? 

Who changes?

How do they change? 

What does the author want us to learn?
