Author-illustrator Vanessa Roeder‘s picture book THE STACK has launched. Publisher Penguin Random House says:
“From the creator of The Box Turtle comes a clever and stunningly illustrated bedtime story about doing (and building!) whatever it takes to reach for the stars.
Luna begins her stack with a single chair. But it’s not quite tall enough. So she adds a stool, then some books . . . and her bed . . . and before she knows it, she’s thrown a pile of plates, a bathtub (currently occupied), and a whale up there too.”
Barnes and Noble is giving some high praise, too: “This slumber-time story from Vanessa Roeder, author of The Box Turtle, is the ideal ‘last book before bed.’ Luna, an energetic and innovative young girl, is on a mission to snag a star and make it her night light. But how will she reach it?…Roeder’s illustrations are full of hidden details and the interjected comments from characters throughout her stack will have you engaged until it’s time to be tucked in.”
