Wonder Wheel [9780823461035]

Overview

The bright lights of a summer fair hop from character to character to show each one’s individual wonderings, as they imagine what it’s like to fill the shoes of another stranger at the carnival.

We all feel something missing, and there’s always somebody wishing for what we have, wishing to be how we are without even trying.

It's a busy day at the carnival, and colorful characters abound: stilt walkers, clowns and strongmen, fortune tellers and human canon balls, and lots and lots of families.

As the crowd churns and swirls, curiosity passes from person to person. The strongman wonders, what’s it like to be a mom? The mom wonders, whatis it like to know the future? The psychic looks at riders on the merry-go-round, and wonders what it’s like to be carefree.

If only everyone could hear each other’s hearts. From our bird’s eye view, we see: we all wonder. We all feel something missing, and there’s always somebody wishing for what we have, wishing to be how we are without even trying.

Wonder Wheel hums with the crystal-clear tones of a story perfectly told. Cecilia Ruiz’s inimitable artwork is bright, bold, and utterly joyful, and her spare text pierces to the core. Hand this book to anyone in the world; they will find themselves in the pages, and it’s a good kind of finding.
