Summary

A little girl takes some intriguing conveyances on a flight of fancy to her grandmother's house - with the help of a big empty box and a very active imagination A gift for Grandma arrives one fine day, and her young granddaughter is eager to deliver it by hand. Grandma's house may be just a hop, skip, and a jump away, but to the girl it seems a long way, and it certainly takes a special kind of creativity to get there. A spare text and abundantly descriptive illustrations guide this elaborate journey into a child's world of make-believe.

Author Biography

Katherine Ayres has been a lover of books since earliest childhood, when she began inventing stories before she could even write them down. She is the author of numerous books for children, including two books in the American Girl History Mysteries series. She says of A LONG WAY, "This started out as a simple story about traveling, based on a real trip I took with my daughters. Tricia Tusa’s pictures take it into another country altogether, the land of make-believe, where my granddaughter now spends much of her time."


Tricia Tusa divides her time between Texas and New Mexico with her family. She is the illustrator of many well-loved books for children. Tricia Tusa also experienced an early calling to the world of children’s books. She says, "I decided I wanted to create children’s books when I was five and hope I continue doing so until I leave the planet and travel to Pluto. . . ."
