King Alice

Matthew Cordell, Caldecott Medal-winning author and illustrator of Wolf in the Snow , delivers yet another warm and delightful picture book in King Alice. Alice and her family are stuck indoors on a snowy day. Alice loves to read, and when her dad suggests that she make her own book, she snaps out of her "I'm bored" mode and makes up a story that lasts till the lights go out later that night. Here is a book that celebrates books, reading, and an imaginative way that one family handles being housebound. Praise for Matthew Cordell "Beautifully paced . . . ultimately reassuring." -- Wall Street Journal on Wolf in the Snow " Shows the power of kindness and bravery. Reminiscent of William Steig's Brave Irene , Cordell's book is a perfect choice for the dark days of winter." --IndieBound on Wolf in the Snow
