In what other place can a child "sail their dreams" and "surf the rainbow" without ever leaving the room This ode to libraries is a celebration for everyone who loves stories, from seasoned readers to those just learning to love words, and it will have kids and parents alike imagining where their library can take them.

This inspiring read-aloud includes stunning illustrations and a note from Nikki Giovanni about the importance of libraries in her own childhood.

Industry Reviews

Every lover of books, young or old, will see themselves in this story." - Booklist (starred review) "Vibrant, carefully composed digital illustrations, with bright colors that invite readers in.... A lushly illustrated homage to librarians." - Kirkus Reviews "In this picture-book celebration of libraries and reading, poet Giovanni writes about the Carnegie Library, which she regularly visited as a child. Robinson's digital art resembles vibrant collages." - Horn Book Magazine "Poetic text and evocative, textured illustrations work in concert to show how books and libraries enable people to imagine other lives-including other versions of their own selves.... A must-have." - School Library Journal
