Elise is very afraid of almost everything, so she nevers goes outside. One day a paper airplane flies in through an open window. The next day a young boy knocks on her door to retrieve it. They end up having a nice time together.
Damm’s 3-D mixed media illustrations are really the star of the show. The story line is too simple, a bit too unbelievable to really hold attention. I could examine the illustrations for hours, though.
