Reviews

As a plain black line seeks its purpose in life, puns provide possible answers in this picture book. Friends and relations offer suggestions in reply to Line’s repeated question, What’s a line supposed to do? Still unsettled, Line decides to broaden his horizon, traveling in every cardinal direction until finally discovering that he should make his own mark. Mixed-media collages form Line’s buddies, and patterned cut-outs come together in cheery scenes of Line’s travels.
