A solitary figure skater launches into an elaborate routine conveyed through fluid pencil work. When the skater flubs a landing, the perspective zooms outward--and the ice is revealed to be an artist's blank page, now crumpled paper; however, that mistake opens the creative floodgates. For a wordless book, Lines has a lot to say about the artistic process.

A little girl notices the shadows thrown by objects piled up in her attic. Her imagination takes over, and the items, including a ladder, hose, and bicycle, turn into wild animals. This wordless book is a tribute to the power of a child's imagination. Strong sideways-oriented book design and striking three-color illustrations carry the story.

In Lee's wordless story, a girl plays in the surf. At first timid, then brazen, the girl is humbled finally when a wave crashes over her. Flowing charcoal and acrylic illustrations draw attention to the vastness of the water in various blues, the only color besides black, gray, and the white of the page. The book's extra-long landscape orientation perfectly displays the compositions.
