A beautifully illustrated children’s book about stories, imagination, creativity, and being yourself. This was just charming to read! If I ever have kids I want to read this to them. 💜

Beautiful book about imagination--maybe more beautiful if you're an adult, but I think I would have liked it as a kid.

Sadie loves books and their power. She has opened new worlds by turning pages. Join her on her adorably-illustrated adventures!

The art in this book is beautiful. For some reason, I found it slightly depressing (probably because Sadie is all by herself), but it could be used to talk about how a person can live many lives through books.

Nostalgic illustrations and a charming little girl fill the pages of this picture book. While I appreciate the message of the story, I thought the author was trying too hard to be all things to the reader. The book has a little bit of humor, a little bit of whimsy, a little bit of a message, and a little bit of fantasy. However, all those little bits don't create a strong identity for the book and I think young children will pick up on that.
Still, there is a line from the book that I absolutely love:
"Sadie's perfect day is spent with friends. Some of them live on her street, and some live in the pages of books."
(I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are honest and my own.)

Great book about the magic of reading. Sadie is a creative little girl who builds castles out of boxes. And she finds friends at school, and in the pages of her book where she has gotten to be a mermaid, a hero and a boy raised by wolves.
Loved the illustrations - simple and elegant. Sadie rules her world.

lovely artsy illustrations. loved that the characters imagined places were based on classic books. The kindergartener even picked up on that! cute stuff.
