Roxaboxen

Roxaboxen by Alice McLerran, illustrated by Barbara Cooney

Marian called it Roxaboxen. (She always knew the name of everything.) There across the road, it looked like any rocky hill — nothing but sand and rocks, some old wooden boxes, cactus and greasewood and thorny ocotillo — but it was a special place: a sparkling world of jeweled homes, streets edged with the whitest stones, and two ice cream shops. Come with us there, where all you need to gallop fast and free is a long stick and a soaring imagination. In glowing desert hues, artist Barbara Cooney has caught the magic of Alice McLerran's treasured land of Roxaboxen — a place that really was, and, once you've been there, always is.

Why We Love It

There is nothing quite like a child's imagination - and this book is all about how children use their imaginations to make things become magically real. This book will remind adults of their own childhood play, when getting outside and playing with the things we found around us kept us lost in our imaginations all day. This is a book you won't want to miss!
