An empty sky. Then a bird, a sun! Hills, a river, a tree, a forest, a road, a deer, a house, a man, a boy — each arrives until the world is full and humming. Remy Charlip shows us something simple and profound: to tell a story, one builds a world from nothing. And then, just as quietly, he takes it all away — the rain comes, the pages grow gray and grayer, until just the rain and the clouds and the sky remain. First published in 1957, it's quiet and experimental and surprising.
