About This Book
Leslie Patricelli's "Higher! Higher!" is a delightful picture book that captures the pure, unadulterated joy of a child on a swing. With minimal text, primarily the repeated plea of "Higher! Higher!" and an obliging dad, the story takes readers on an imaginative journey from the backyard to the stars. The wildly expressive illustrations are central to the narrative, showing the child's giddy glee as they soar past familiar objects and into fantastical realms. It's a perfect read-aloud for ages 2-6, celebrating the simple pleasures of childhood, the bond between parent and child, and the boundless power of imagination.
