Wonderlit Review

Leslie Patricelli's 'Higher! Higher!' is a delightful board book that captures the pure joy and boundless imagination of a child on a swing. With simple, repetitive text and her signature bold, expressive illustrations, Patricelli takes readers on an imaginative journey from the backyard to the stars and beyond. The book gently explores the thrill of pushing boundaries through play, with an obliging parent as a supportive presence. It is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who love to swing and for parents looking for a cheerful, whimsical read-aloud that celebrates everyday wonders and the power of make-believe.
