The Secret Box

Book Synopsis

Times change. Cities may grow large. Summers may come and go. And people might grow old, but the one thing that always remains the same is the desire for adventure. Barbara Lehman takes readers on a timeless trip to a world of secret messages left in secret boxes hidden in secret places. You’ll never know what you’ll find when you look inside! Ages 4 to 8 Grades Preschool up AUTHOR: Barbara Lehman has illustrated many books for children. Barbara attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where she earned a BFA in communication design. A full-time illustrator, Barbara says, “Books and art have always held the strongest attraction for me. I have always felt drawn to `commercial art’ because of its ability to reach many people. I like the idea of being part of the media in a meaningful and thoughtful way, especially with children as the audience.” Illustrated throughout.

Our Review Panel says...

Three children find a time capsule and as they look through its contents they find a secret underground path to another world called Seahorse Pier. There are lots of details in the distinctive illustrations and the concept of this book is great for inspiring new story plots.
