1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
From two Caldecott Honor–winning creators comes a sweet and inspiring picture book about a runaway circus performer who learns to face his fears and follow his heart. When The Great Zapfino climbs to the top of the circus platform, all eyes are on him, waiting for his incredible leap. But Zapfino is afraid of heights! He can’t take the pressure and flees, boards a plane, and runs away to start a new life. In the city, Zapfino starts work as an elevator operator in a tall building but soon learns you can never really outrun your fears. When disaster strikes, can Zapfino find the strength to be great?

There is something so satisfying about the pencil drawings and the penciled lettering in this book. A lot of it is wordless. Philosophically, what does it have to do with courage? Is courage less valuable if it's inspired by necessity?
