Tibet

I re-read this recently aloud to my daughter. It's an unusual story that mixes the fantastical with a diary left by the author's father, a documentary filmmaker, in a red box. The author's father had traveled to Tibet to film the making of a highway into Tibet and was gone for just over a year. The drawings within are awesome – I'm a big fan of Peter Sís and his detailed, intricate line-drawings. And the story within is by turns fascinating and strange.
