Pencil

by Hye-eun Kim

Overview

What is a pencil? A forest transformed, and so much more.

Even the simplest tool contains multitudes. Once a living tree, then a manufactured commodity, a pencil becomes in the hands of a young artist the key to a rich imaginative world. In this expansive, gorgeously illustrated story, author Hye-Yun Kim asks us to see and appreciate the full value—and infinite possibilities—of the seemingly mundane objects around us.

Pencil, a wordless picture book, follows a pencil’s life cycle from tree to factory to store shelf and back to tree, drawn on the pages of a book. A powerful aid for teaching readers essential visual literacy skills.
