Illustrated by
Brian Fitzgerald.
A picture book’s journey from Asian printing factory to American bookstore. Each striking double-page spread includes parallel texts: Sidebar narration explaining details about each phase of the process and pairs of opposites depicting more abstract impressions of the story (“Every UP has a DOWN” and “Every QUIET has a NOISY”). Digital illustrations contrast grayscale environments with selective colors (the bright red cargo ship; blue, green, and orange container crates, etc.).
