Magical." --People Magazine "This remarkable wordless picture book bursts with buoyant energy as a boy finds the key to a long-unopened door and makes his way from drabness to a joyful, magical land." --The New York Times, Editors' Choice "This quiet fable feels both relevant and timeless." --Shelf Awareness "A wonderland as wondrous and wild as Alice's, but one where the improbable becomes not a source of confusion and fright but of pure mirth." --Brain Pickings "Readers will be drawn to its quiet charm and welcoming message of inclusion." --Kirkus Reviews "Expands kids' mindsets and shows them that the world is a marvelous place where anything is possible - as long as they have a spirit of curiosity and exploration." --Cool Mom Picks "Wordless and unusual, this story is about a boy who follows a bug and uses a special key to open a door that leads to a different world. He spends a special afternoon on a picnic where he meets many creatures, watches a wedding, then returns home. Use this for a writing prompt or discussion." --Imagination Soup "There are no words in JiHyeon Lee's latest picture book, "Door," but the illustrations are so powerful that there don't need to be." ---NBC News Asian America
