Telling stories through illustrations and without words, Aaron Becker's magnificent, double-paged, spreads of art tell the story of a child and their journey and focus deeply on the power of imagination. His artistic style is simultaneously bold and simple, making great use of glowing colors and landscapes. The full pages of illustrations frequently switch from soft, glowing, soothing, scenes, to brighter, more vivid scenes that really pop with activity. He also keeps an artistic simplicity to his characters, allowing them to act as better mirrors for children to see themselves in.

His series, Journey, Quest, and Return, which is told exclusively in pictures, is great for fans of Harold and the Purple Crayon!

His books are excellent tools for children to cultivate imagination and to develop strong storytelling skills.
