Here Is a Book

Reach for this book when your child starts asking where things come from or expresses frustration that their own creative projects take too long. It is a perfect choice for the little artist who loves to draw, the reader who is curious about the magic behind their bookshelf, or the child who needs to see that big accomplishments are built through small, patient steps and the help of many people. Elisha Cooper uses his signature soft, observant style to demystify the publishing world. From the quiet solitude of an author's desk to the loud, rhythmic clacking of a printing press and the busy hum of a delivery truck, the story highlights themes of patience, collaboration, and the pride of seeing a dream become a physical reality. It is an educational and gentle journey that validates the creative impulse while explaining the complex labor of love behind every page they turn.
