Roxaboxen by Alice McLerran, Illustrated by Barbara Cooney

“Striking artwork by a Caldecott Medalist complements an unusually evocative story.” —Publishers Weekly

Celebrate the power of the imagination in the make-believe town of Roxaboxen, where sand, rocks, and old wooden boxes are magically transformed into jeweled homes, streets edged with the whitest stones, and two ice cream shops. Two-time Caldecott Medalist Barbara Cooney’s luminous illustrations of the Arizona desert accompany this enchanting story.
