ABOUT ONCE UPON A BOOK 

Powerhouse children’s book authors Grace Lin and Kate Messner team up in this whimsical picture book celebrating the joys of reading. It’s winter, and Alice is tired of staying inside all day. When she spots a book lying open on the floor, she begins to read and steps inside the book as characters invite her to. She travels to bird-filled jungles, swims with colorful fish in coral reefs, becomes a cloud in a thunderous sky, and more. Her bunny Lovey, transformed into a real bunny, travels with her. It’s a mesmerizing, imaginative read book lovers of all ages will adore.
