Iris loves pushing elevator buttons, it's her job in her family, to push the buttons. But one day, her daddy leans over so her baby brother can push the button and Iris feels betrayed. But one day, Iris finds a discarded elevator button in the trash - after the repair man left, so she takes it home and tapes it to her wall. It works! The door to her room is suddenly a portal to wonderful places! 

Mostly wordless, this panel illustrated picture book reads like a graphic novel. So fun to read with a child as even non readers can follow the story, and their imagination makes the story even better. A great pre-read for a free write as well.
