The Visitor

The Visitor

<p>Elise was frightened―of spiders, people, even trees. So she never went out, night or day. <br /> One day a strange thing flies in through the window and lands at her feet. And then there comes a knock at the door. Elise has a visitor who will change everything. <br /> The Visitor is a story about friendship and shyness that plays out in a mini theatre, as a child unwittingly brings light and color―literally―into a lonely person's life. <br /> The unique artwork has a doll's house appeal. Damm creates a diorama from cardboard and photographs the scenes, giving the illustrations a special luminosity and depth. A <em>New York Times </em>Best Illustrated Children's Book!</p>
