I read Lily and the Paper Man with my Pre-K daughter. The illustrations in the book are very realistic. The up and down buttons of the elevator, so zoomed to life size, I wondered if I would move along. The book shows the everyday world of a kid going to school and some different elements. Even though Lily is apprehensive about the Paper Man, eventually she does what can be described as an act of largesse very much the scale of 'The Last Leaf' by O Henry.
The picture views like the bird s eye view with Lily letting the snow tough her tongue or the description of snow flying put you in the books of the pages. Where we associate kids being possessive of their blankets and all, Lily is an inspiration and reminder of a child's untainted generosity.
