Let's Go Backer and Backer: The Pretty Picture takes children on a joyful journey of curiosity and discovery. A young boy proudly creates a beautiful picture for his mom, but where did that picture truly begin? By going backer and backer, readers follow the steps behind drawing, from crayons and paper to the origins of the materials themselves. This playful story, inspired by the author's twin daughters and their endless questions during cozy book fest days, celebrates the wonder of creativity and the magic of looking deeper into everyday things.
