Created for children and the child in all of us, The Little Bright Blue Line is a charming and contemplative fable for our times. Composed of playful verse and drawing by children's author Monte Packham, the book follows the adventures of the Little Bright Blue Line as she shows off her skills and navigates life's ups and downs. While all might seem like fun and games at first, our friend the Line soon discovers there are larger and more melancholy questions to answer. In the spirit of Shel Silverstein's classic The Missing Piece, The Little Bright Blue Line offers sur- prises from page to page and an unexpected, heartwarming ending. This edition is a facsimile of a handwritten and drawn original by Packham, recreating all the idiosyncrasies of ink and colored pencil on paper. Crafted in the size of a small diary or sketchbook--the perfect fit for a child's hands (or an adult's pocket)--The Little Bright Blue Line is a welcome tonic for when we need a small reminder of what's most important in life.
