#Drawnonward by #danielnayeri #mattrockefeller is beautifully ‘drawn’ story (in palindrome) of a child dealing with the loss of his ‘mom’. Set in mythical times he overcomes challenges and in extraordinarily emotional way (🥲) learns to accept his new life yet feel her presence. #picturebooks #loss

Cannot recommend this book enough. If there’s a definition of storytelling this is it. #everythingsadisuntrue #danielnayeri #books

No 21 in my #FavePicturebooks24 is…

“DRAWN O NWARD” by #DanielNayeri and #MattRockefeller. From the title to the words to the journey it is a palindrome. It beautifully explores a young boy’s grief, its visual storytelling is amazing. Stunning and emotional. #PicturebookPage
