Descripción: Perfect for a new generation of path-forgers, this buoyant picture book from an award-winning author and New Yorker cover artist is a hip new take on the graduation book.With an exclusive bonus print from Bob Staake inside the jacket.On this playfully illustrated journey with Bob Staake, children and adults alike will discover an encouraging truth: our path through life is not only challenging and beautiful—it is all our own to discover and invent."You will walk. You will walk along a well-worn path that many people have taken—and long before you." So begins this inspirational journey over gentle, grassy hills, through fields of wildflowers, over raging rivers, up steep mountains, and even through a dark, chilly cave. When it splits in two, you will have to decide what to do next—and you'll create a path that's unique to you.From School Library JournalK-Gr 4—Dramatic landscapes are employed to show a solitary figure—a small child—wandering through fields of flowers and over gentle hills, but also through dark forests, over raging rivers, and through mud and swamps. A dark cave seems like an unfortunate end point, but Staake is sure to show his character emerging into sunlight, facing a new set of divergent paths. "How will you know which way to go?" he asks, and then assures his readers that the answer lies within them, allowing them to confidently continue on a path that others may have traveled, but that will be uniquely their own. The use of distinct color schemes for each page amplifies the message of this philosophical concept book: Every life demands many different decisions, leading to circumstances that are at times pleasant and at times difficult. Younger children may view the journey in a concrete way, relating to the physical characteristics of the various natural settings. Older children will be able to interpret the figurative language and appreciate the greater wisdom of this gentle, seemingly simple tale.

It’s like Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” meets Dr. Suess’s Oh, the Places You Will Go! but with an entirely unique landscape of words and beautiful art that together form the author’s own unique voice." — Tinybeans"Staake’s graphical worldbuilding... is high style all the way. Includes a detachable poster.” - Publishers Weekly"A bit of a pep talk about all of the things you’ll do in your life … sweet and thoughtful... the art - particularly the environment - gives me flashbacks of the art of Jon Klassen. So it’s very obvious why I enjoy looking at this book so much... and the style of all that nature is wonderful stuff.” - Dad Suggests"A realistic and encouraging message for people of any age…. would also make a great companion text to Cynthia Rylant’s Life for any classroom social-emotional lesson! — Danielle Joseph, educator “LOVED this picture book…. wonderful gift to give anyone who is graduating.”— Melissa Foster, school library media specialist“A perfe
