About this title

Synopsis

A Best Book of the Year by NPR, Kirkus, Amazon, Parents Magazine, BookPage & the Los Angeles Public Library.
 
A #1 Indie Bestseller & featured on NPR, ABC-TV, Good Morning America & Entertainment Weekly.
 
An office at night is reimagined as a fantastical kingdom of paper complete with friendly dragons in this beautiful and heartfelt picture book.

When the babysitter is unable to come, Daniel is woken out of bed and joins his parents as they head downtown for their jobs as nighttime office cleaners. But the story is about more than brooms, mops, and vacuums. Mama and Papa turn the deserted office building into a magnificent kingdom filled with paper. Then they weave a fantasy of dragons and kings to further engage their reluctant companion--and even encourage him to one day be the king of a paper kingdom.

The Paper Kingdom expresses the joy and spirit of a loving family who turn a routine and ordinary experience into something much grander. Magical art by Pascal Campion shows both the real world and the fantasy through the eyes of the young narrator.
