The drabness of a gray late autumn or end-of-winter day bursts into color and light when a young boy finds a small, magical plastic ring in the park. In moments, his mood and his world are transformed, winter clothes are shed, and the child flies high over the New York City skyline. Lisa Maizlish's debut picture book is told through beautifully composed photographs that shift from black-and-white to color as the dizzying wordless fantasy unfolds. Her skillful use of both photographic mediums, as well as digital enhancement techniques, shifts the story's tone with subtle yet dazzling results in a book that will capture young children's emotions and send their imaginations soaring. (Ages 3-5)

"A wordless and stunning series of digitally enhanced photographs communicates the story of how a yellow plastic ring transforms a little boy's boring, gravity-bound, black-and-white autumn day into a soaring, summertime, full-color flight of imagination. As he is lifted into the air, his shoes and scarf fall away and soon he is soaring over the Empire State Building and whisking past the nose of the Statue of Liberty....A simple concept amplified by artistry in league with technology."--Kirkus Review
