Description
Nop is a scruffy kind of bear.
He sits on a dusty armchair in Oddmint's Dumporeum surrounded by the beaders, knitters, patchers, and stitchers who are much too busy to talk to him. So he watches the litter tumble until, armed with a new bow tie, he decides to create his own air balloon from litter scraps and fly away!
Advance Praise
"With illustrations sketched in ink and filled in with soft watercolors reminiscent of Quentin Blake's illustrations in Roald Dahl's works, Magerl creates a touching story about choosing one's own destiny." - School Library Journal (12/1/24)
" Though Nop takes risks, the tone is always soothing. His final, surprising destination--replete with a subtle change from muted colors to brighter ones--supplies an ending both humorous and heartwarming. By turns thrilling and tender--a charmer." - Kirkus Reviews (3/1/25)
"Jewel-toned watercolor illustrations will ensnare the imagination in this cozy tale." Foreword Reviews Starred Review (March/April 2025)
