PS
In this wordless book, a punished girl fumes, then reaches for her stuffed bear. The bear comes to life, leading her on an adventure. Over several spreads, the girl becomes increasingly sleepy, and wakes up in her bed. Yum's moody linocut illustrations feature foggily stippled color blocks. Faces are revealed with the simplest curved lines, making the result look spontaneous and intimate.
