A Celebration of Childhood Imagination (and one of Ms. Jennifer's Favorites!) 

In the windswept Arizona desert, a group of children transforms sand, stones, and old wooden boxes into a magical town called Roxaboxen—a place with white-stone roads, jeweled houses, and not one but two ice cream shops. Here, imagination rules and play knows no bounds.

With poetic storytelling and luminous illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Barbara Cooney, this timeless tale honors the beauty of childhood creativity and the way simple things become extraordinary in the hands of children. A treasure for dreamers, builders, and memory-keepers of all ages.
