A boy in a black-and-white world finds a key and then follows a colorful flying insect to a locked door. The key opens the door onto a full-color Wonderland-style fantasyland full of well-dressed anthropomorphized animals who speak in dialogue-balloon squiggles and include the boy in their festivities. This enchanting wordless book makes a loud-and-clear case for following one's dreams.

In this quietly engrossing wordless book, a boy dives into a pool--neatly swimming below a disagreeable mass of grownups bobbing about on inflatable tubes--and meets another young swimmer. Together, boy and girl discover a strange and beautiful underwater world of fantastic Shaun Tan–esque creatures. Colored-pencil and oil-pastel illustrations use color to contrast the two realities.
