High-design book by alt-cartoonist Jordan Crane, whose work has been described as "both like humble, handcrafted objects made in the garage of a lonely teenager, and amazingly planned and sophisticated works of an artist at the height of his form." A visionary depiction of the interconnectedness of all life that's simple enough for a child to understand and profound enough for a parent to ponder. Perfect for reading out loud with loved ones, with vocabulary simple enough for independent reading. Accompanying TOON into Reading CCSS-Aligned Lesson Plan and Activity Sheet (free download).
