Goodreads

This is a gorgeously illustrated wordless picture book. It follows the life of one paper bag as it is reused and repurposed throughout one person’s entire life. It begins with a tree and ends in a surprising full circle way. Henry Cole’s illustrations are detailed, and full of character. The book is almost entirely black and white, except for the paper bag. Even though the focus is the bag, there are so many other things wrapped up in this story — family, love, environment, compassion, and more. Highly recommended for readers 3 and up and recommended for Cream of the Crop.
