Reach for this book when your child is in a whimsical or obsessive mood, perhaps fixating on a specific toy or treat, and you want to gently introduce the idea that while things are fun, people and love are what truly sustain us. This surreal, cult-classic masterpiece follows Sam, a young boy with a singular passion for donuts that leads him on a wild journey to the Big City. There, he meets a world-class donut collector and navigates an urban landscape filled with absurd characters and intricate, hidden details. While Sam starts his quest seeking sugary satisfaction, he ultimately discovers that human connection is the greatest treasure of all. It is a perfect choice for parents who value highly creative, non-traditional storytelling and want to foster a child's appreciation for complex art and offbeat humor. The story manages to be both profoundly silly and unexpectedly touching, making it a memorable read for ages 4 to 10.
