Blue Rider

On a gray and crowded city sidewalk, a child discovers a book. That evening, the child begins to read and is immediately carried beyond the repetitive sameness of an urban skyscape into an untamed natural landscape. Thanks to the power of one book, an entire society is transformed. Full color.
