Books can be mazes, or bridges, or wings on your back!

An adventurous and joyful picture book celebration of books and reading, showing that books are for everybody, from the Macmillan Prize-winning creator of The Truth About Old People.

Books don't light up, they don't make any noise – so what is the point? One little boy launches into a journey of discovery with the whole family, sharing everything there is to love about reading and the magical wonder of books.

Perfect for reluctant readers, new readers and book-lovers alike, The Truth About Books by Elina Ellis is a book to treasure.
