OUT THE DOOR written and illustrated by Christy Hale
Neal Porter Books/ Holiday House
Out the door,
down the stoop,
past the neighbors,
along the block . . .
Follow a young girl as she travels to school in a busy city—through tree-lined streets, onto a crowded subway car, into the classroom with friends, and finally, retracing her steps back home again. There’s so much to see in Christy Hale’s warm, richly textured artwork and simple, evocative text.
