(2) 1-3 Illustrated by David Small. The Journey records a trip to Chicago for Amish Hannah. Double-page spreads set in Chicago, paired with entries from Hannah's diary, alternate with wordless spreads depicting the home that Hannah has left behind--Amish scenes both suggested by the diary entries and visually paralleling the preceding city scenes. The pictures effectively convey the idea that the way we see things depends on where we're coming from.
