This wonderful book follows a little girl who draws a magic door on her bedroom wall. Through it she escapes into a world where wonder, adventure and danger abound. Red marker pen in hand, she creates a boat, a balloon and a flying carpet which carry her on a spectacular journey … who knows where?

Teaching Ideas and Resources:

• Use the title as the starting point for your own story. What might your own story about a ‘Journey’ include?
• Look at the illustrations on the front, back and inside covers. Discuss what you think it might be about.
• As you explore the illustrations in the book, try to find features that might be clues about the rest of the story.
• Think of your own captions, speech / thought bubbles to add to the illustrations.
• Make a word bank that includes words you could use to describe the people, places and events in the story.
• Create a narrative version of the story. Could you turn it into a playscript?
• Imagine that you had a pen that could be used to draw (and create) real objects. What would you draw? Could you write a new story based on this concept?
• Write a character profile about the girl. What do you know about her? How would you describe her?
• Retell the story from the girl’s point of view. Could you write a diary entry for her?
• Write a prequel to this story that explains where the magic red pen came from. Who owned it before the girl? Who made it? Why does it have special powers?
• Choose one of the settings in the story. How would you describe it?
• Write a newspaper article about a girl who goes missing through a magical doorway in her bedroom.
• Write a newspaper article about the girl who arrived in the city in a red boat.
• Stop reading when the girl first arrives at the city. Should she go in? Why (not)? Share your thoughts with others and vote on what you think should happen next.
• Why is the purple bird being hunted by the people?

• Create a game in which a girl has to rescue a special purple bird.
• Create a video that shows the illustrations in the book and is accompanied by your own narration / speech.
• Watch this trailer for the book. Could you use multimedia software to create your own book trailer?

Design Technology

• Create a model of one of the airships in the illustrations.
• Imagine that you could draw a magic door from your classroom / bedroom wall into another world. Draw the view to the other side.
• Create a picture that shows what the girl can see at your favourite point in the story.
• Could you create an additional page (or group of pages) that tells a different part of the story? Could you draw a sequel to this book?
• The illustrations were created using watercolour paints. Can you try to paint using a similar style?
• Look at the different characters in the story. Can you create your own illustrations of them? This video has some tips from the author / illustrator:

• Compose a theme tune to accompany a movie version of this story.
• Draw a map of the city the girl encounters.
• How many different forms of transport can you find in the book?
• Imagine that you had a flying carpet. Where would you travel to? Why?
• Plan your own ‘Journey’. Where will you go? How will you get there? What will you need to take?
• Find out about famous journeys, explorers and expeditions from history.

Religious education

• Why do people sometimes go on special journeys as part of their religion? Can you find out more about these?
• Look at the body language of the characters in the illustrations. What might they be thinking / feeling? How can you tell?

A beautiful wordless picture filled with adventure and wonder.  Our protagonist feels alone in the grey city that surrounds her and traps her.  She wishes to travel and to see the world and for this to happen she will have to do it for herself.  With just a swipe of chalk and a lot of imagination she travels to far away lands filled with wonder and mystery; beauty and danger.

Resource Preview

A writing root for journey.

KS: Lower KS2, R & KS1, Upper KS2

Year Group: Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6

Literary Theme: Coming together & community

Author(s): Aaron Becker

"The most fantastic way to launch the year: our whole primary school is excited to write."

Anna Chidzey, whole school, British International School Riyadh

• Description

Main Outcome(s):

Predictions, retellings in role, maps, posters, a travel diary, instructions and a story sequel.

10+ sessions, 2+ weeks

Overview and Outcomes:

This is a two-week Whole School Writing Root for Journey by Aaron Becker. The resource has been designed to be used by an entire school to foster a shared learning experience around one text and to engender written outcomes – some with the same audiences and purposes, some not – that are ‘at pitch’ for each phase/stage but that will also aid revision, catch-up and extension where (and in whichever form) needed. We have planned for activities at 3 stages: Reception with Year 1; Year 2 with Year 3 and then Year 4 to Year 6. The resource is intended to form the basis upon which schools and teachers can create and shape a sequence of learning that will work within their context.  The sessions could be added to with art activities and through further learning in PSHE, Science, Geography and History.

Synopsis of Text:

The winner of the prestigious Caldecott Honor, and described by the New York Times as 'a masterwork', Aaron Becker's stunning, wordless picture book debut about self-determination and unexpected friendship follows a little girl who draws a magic door on her bedroom wall. Through it she escapes into a world where wonder, adventure and danger abound. Red marker pen in hand, she creates a boat, a balloon and a flying carpet which carry her on a spectacular journey ... who knows where? When she is captured by a sinister emperor, only an act of tremendous courage and kindness can set her free. Can it also guide her home and to happiness? In this exquisitely illustrated book, an ordinary child is launched on an extraordinary, magical journey towards her greatest and most rewarding adventure of all...

A 2014 Caldecott Honor Book

A lonely girl draws a magic door on her bedroom wall and through it escapes into a world where wonder, adventure, and danger abound. Red marker in hand, she creates a boat, a balloon, and a flying carpet that carry her on a spectacular journey toward an uncertain destiny.

“Though Becker has plenty of experience as an artist for films, “Journey” is his first book, and it’s a masterwork.” — New York Times Book Review

Journey by Aaron Becker – KS2 cross-curricular planning

Three-page PDF featuring KS2 cross-curricular activity ideas

Art & Design , English

If a picture paints a thousand words, it’s easy to see why picture book Journey by Aaron Becker tells such a fantastical, epic tale.

With so much to look at and think about, Journey by Aaron Becker is a book that you can read on many levels. As Becker says in a mini-documentary on his website : “Each page has to answer questions from the previous spread as well as introducing whatever might be happening next”.

Taken as a whole, his illustrations provide a rich and memorable reading experience that will inspire much in the way of thinking and talking , and make a wonderful starting point for creative projects of all kinds.

What is Journey by Aaron Becker about?

A lonely girl draws a door on her bedroom wall and steps into another world. Aided by her magic crayon she travels through this strange, new place. Shifting landscapes give way to a remarkable city where there’s a villain to confront, and the girl needs all her courage and resourcefulness in order to survive.

She does, of course, and goes home with the greatest treasure of all – a friend.

In this glorious – and completely wordless – picture book, the timeless appeal of Aaron Becker’s story is more than matched by his illustrations, which crackle with so much expressive energy that readers barely notice the absence of text.

Becker worked as a designer in the film industry before creating Journey. His experience is evident in the book’s grandly conceived, yet intimately detailed, spreads.

Executed in watercolour, a demanding medium that requires a delicate balance between control and ‘letting go’, the resulting artwork is gently memorable yet utterly compelling.

Everyday Reading

Journey by Aaron Becker

You all know I love a good wordless picture book. And Journey is a GOOD wordless picture book. Actually, it’s a great wordless picture book.

I reserved this from the library after my librarian friend Jen recommended it on Twitter, but didn’t get around to opening it until a week or so later. And then, when Ella finally picked it from the library basket, we both just sort of gaped in delight at this amazing, beautiful book.

It is absolutely magical. Click right over to your library this MINUTE and request a copy (I apologize for my bossiness, but sometimes (always) my oldest childness pushes its way to the top. I’m sure Merrick and Landen would be happy to commiserate with you).

journey by aaron becker

The first few pages of Journey are all sepia tones, with a little girl slumped on the front stoop of her city apartment. Inside, you can see her mom in the kitchen on the phone, her dad at the computer, and her sister playing a video game. None of them have time to play.

So she heads up to her room, where, in the midst of all these shades of brown, is a bright red marker on the floor. She draws a door on her wall (by now, we’ve read this enough times that Ella always says on this page, “Do we draw on the wall? NO, we do NOT draw on the wall”), opens the door, and steps into a magical, full-color place.

The contrast between those pages of sepia and this full color forest is so breathtaking, I almost couldn’t speak when I turned the page. It is glorious. And the adventure is only beginning.

I particularly love a picture book that loops back to the beginning – where you feel like the book has really come full circle, and this one does it marvelously. I read it to our little preschool group on Tuesday and they all stopped their 3-year-old bouncing and wiggling and were riveted to the page.

Journey by Aaron Becker has all the magic and detail and fun of David Wiesner’s best books (and I cannot imagine I’m the first person to make that comparison). Of course I loved every page.

Seriously, go get this book (have I mentioned that before?). I hope it snags itself a gold or silver sticker come January.

Done and done. My kids don't like "telling me the story" and won't pretend read books to me (now that Spencer's reading on his own, he'll actually read the words but that's it). I put it on hold immediately – maybe it will bring out their imagination.

September 12, 2013 at 1:10 pm

This is sitting on the library hold shelf at this very moment just waiting for me to pick it up. I think we'll put that at the top of our priority list for the day! I just hope I'm not disappointed! That book has been talked up more than any other picture book this year.

September 12, 2013 at 2:13 pm

I love your love for children's books- I totally relate. Thanks for the recommendation!

September 12, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Apparently my library isn't cool enough for this book! You'd think with 7 branches in my county that they'd have something like this. I'll keep checking!

September 12, 2013 at 5:25 pm

I just can't get behind wordless picture books. I mean, I don't mind looking through them, but my child demands a dialogue, you know? And then that is just too much work for me to come up with a narration for it.

September 13, 2013 at 9:10 am

Susan, How about asking your child what he or she sees in the pictures or thinks might be happening? As Peaceful Reader says, her kids at school love telling the story to her.

September 13, 2013 at 12:47 am

I love wordless books as my kiddos at school love telling the story to me! This looks beautiful. I will put it on my Titlewave order tomorrow. Thanks!

September 13, 2013 at 6:38 am

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm going to go check my library for it. Have you seen "Unbrella"? It's a darling, whimsical book with really cute illustrations. I checked it out from the library and then decided I needed to own it.

[…] It’s only for the very most exceptional picture books that I write an entire post about a single book (I think the last one that got its own post was Journey). […]

What's .css-1msjh1x{font-style:italic;} journey about.

Follow a girl on an elaborate flight of fancy in a wondrously illustrated, wordless picture book about self-determination — and unexpected friendship. A lonely girl draws a magic door on her bedroom wall and through it escapes into a world where wonder, adventure, and danger abound. Red marker in hand, she creates a boat, a balloon, and a flying carpet that carry her on a spectacular journey toward an uncertain destiny. When she is captured by a sinister emperor, only an act of tremendous courage and kindness can set her free. Can it also lead her home and to her heart’s desire? With supple line, luminous color, and nimble flights of fancy, author-illustrator Aaron Becker launches an ordinary child on an extraordinary journey toward her greatest and most exciting adventure of all.

What Kind of Book is Journey

This is a beautiful wordless picture book following a young girl through her imagination to a world where things don't always work out as she expects. She has to think fast, but with a little creative problem solving and a lot of imagination she's able to discover just what she was looking for—a friend. A fresh take on a journey with elements vaguely reminiscent of Where the Wild Things Are and Harold and the Purple Crayon!

Book Lists That Include Journey

The Creative Behind the Book

Aaron Becker learned while living in Granada, Spain, that many of the city’s stone churches had at one point been mosques and, before that, Roman ruins. Which got him thinking: What wisdom can something as still as a rock share with the rest of us? While he could only guess at the answer, he does have some experience with these ancient fragments of earth. After all, the house where he grew up in Baltimore was built from, you guessed it, stone. Aaron Becker lives in western Massachusetts.
