Educational Value
Having no words, Journey encourages the reader to be the storyteller. Kids can use their own imaginations to tell what's going on in the magical drawings.
Positive Messages
Using your imagination, you can find creative ways to fight loneliness. By helping others, you may find the best kind of friends. When friends help friends, the world's a better place.
Positive Role Models
The plucky little girl is brave, adventurous, virtuous, and resourceful. She explores the enchanted world that opens before her, risks her life to free a trapped bird, and figures out how to use her imagination and the red crayon to make her world one of beauty and friendship.
Violence & Scariness
The soldiers on the floating ship have weapons, capture the magical purple bird, chase the little girl when she falls through the air, and put her in a cage. She takes another plunge through the air when her boat goes over a waterfall but saves herself. Nothing's gory or bloody, but the situations may scare some kids.
Did you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide.

Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Journey is a picture book -- and what pictures they are. Aaron Becker's absolutely amazing illustrations need no words to feed the imagination of readers of any age as they're caught up in the adventure of the little girl and her magical red crayon. Although the premise recalls the classic Harold and the Purple Crayon , Journey is very different: It's more complex and presents a clear lesson. Happily, a clever twist at the end pays special homage to Harold.

Beautiful and fun
What's the story.
A young girl escapes her lonely, sepia-tone world by drawing a door that leads into an enchanted world tinted with color, adventure, and, ultimately, friendship. She takes quite a JOURNEY in this completely wordless picture book, with her magical red crayon as the key. In a little red rowboat, she sails along the canals of a golden-domed city. In a bright-red hot-air balloon, she escapes one near-misadventure and heads toward another. Finally, she lands in a cage after an encounter with a sinister crew and an exotic purple bird, and, as the crayon falls from her hands, all seems lost. Bravery, and a little help from the loyal bird, lead her to further adventures a bit closer to home, where she finds she's not the only one with a magic crayon and an imagination.
Is It Any Good?
A kid brings meaning and adventure to the world using imagination and a crayon; it’s a familiar premise, but Becker's magical, complex artwork and charming story take it into new territory. He creates enchanted, imaginative backdrops galore, but it's the little girl's simple lines, the bright red of the things she draws, the bird's purple feathers, and the fascinating twist at the end that make the story.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about what stories the pictures tell. With no words, Journey can become whatever adventure readers create together. Kids can tell it to parents, parents can tell it to kids, and it can change with each telling.
How does Becker use color to help tell the story? What do the sepia tones convey? How about the red crayon or the bright red of the things the little girl draws? What would have been different if she'd had a green crayon? Or a blue one?
How do you feel about books that have no words? How can an artist tell a complicated story using only illustrations? Do you like the freedom it gives you to make up your own words when you look at the book?

Wordless Books
Journey (2013).
Aaron Becker
A bored and lonely child picks up a red colouring stick and draws a small door on her bedroom wall – then walks through it into a luminous forest lit with blue Chinese lanterns, golden strings of fairy lights and numerous fireflies. Running through the forest is a stream. So, using her red crayon, the girl draws herself a boat and climbs in. Gradually she drifts into the watery highway of a vast and complex castle, peopled with fierce guards. As she makes her escape difficulties beset her, but she cleverly draws a solution to overcome each challenge. Eventually the girl rescues an exotic purple bird that guides her through another small door, which leads her back into her home city.
![title= journey pictures aaron becker](https://efzrd5fwfky.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/15131638/Journey_01.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&fit=570%2C295&ssl=1)
Over the summer, E bought EV a wordless book called Pool . I was skeptical of it at first, recalling EV’s disinterest in Journey . Then, I watched something magic begin to happen. E kept making up the story of Pool , and EV began to interact with the story . Sometimes she interjected to add something from a prior telling, others she inserted her own details.
I took a turn reading it to her, and I noticed different facets of it than E, so my telling was a shade different. If I asked nicely enough and didn’t make a big deal about it, EV would even “read” Pool to me.
Pool was one of our most-read books during the summer. When E was listing off books from her want-list for our request list for the library and mentioned Journey , my ears pricked up.
I wondered – how would EV like the book now that she was older and more engaged in the shared creation of a story? Would Journey include both enough narrative and enough ambiguity to make for as interesting a read as Pool?
What a difference a few months made!
The Journey Trilogy: Journey, Quest , and Return by Aaron Becker
![journey pictures aaron becker journey-aaron-becker](https://www.crushingkrisis.com/assets/Journey-aaron-becker-300x269.jpg)
Gender Diversity: Female protagonist; most other characters are male, although background characters are sometimes agender.
Ethnic Diversity: None, unfortunately
Challenging Language: None!
Themes to Discuss: imagination, fantasy, canals, cooperation
Reading Time: Depends on the reader! Between 4-15 minutes each, for us.
The Journey Trilogy by Aaron Becker is a beautiful, brilliant, fantastical trio of wordless adventure books by with a capable little girl hero, each with plenty of room for interpretation and expansion in the retelling. Becker proves himself an ingenious storyteller with an eye for detail and a knack for tantalizing ambiguity.
Journey is the story of a young girl who uses a piece of red chalk to travel to a fantastic world by drawing a door on her bedroom walk. In that world, she learns that the chalk can draw anything out of thin air.
After sailing through a town built on a series of canals, she encounters a group of soldiers flying in zeppelins are trying to catch a vivid purple bird. The girl tries to save the bird, but she’s captured herself, and the two work together so she can get free. The bird leads her to a door just like her own, except it’s the same color as the bird! On the other side, she is back in the real world down the street from her house, where she meets a boy with purple chalk.
![journey pictures aaron becker journey-aaron-becker-interior](https://www.crushingkrisis.com/assets/journey-aaron-becker-interior-300x225.jpeg)
The easiest example is the red chalk itself. The girl finds it on the floor of her room. Is it the first time she has encountered it? The natural urge is to say yes, as that fits with how stories like this one are usually told. However, she already owns a matching red scooter and red ball which she has been carrying around the house with her. Is it a coincidence that red is her favorite color, or had she created with the chalk before?
These points of interpretation abound in Journey , and they’re part of what makes it so fun in the retelling. Does the girl mean to steer her little red boat to the top of the highest canal? Is it she or the the bird who engineers the magic carpet that will fit through the bars of her cage? Where do she and the boy find the body of a bike that they draw wheels for at the end of the book?
That’s what makes Journey perfect for a small reader who can interact with you while you read. The details that EV noticed and questions she asked shaped out version of the story. Sometimes it’s a very plain, descriptive version that simply explains the action on each page. Others it unfurls in the telling like a florid fairy tale, full of little asides and descriptions of the girl’s inner monologue.
Journey would already be a surefire recommendation if it stood alone, but Aaron Becker extended the story into two additional books – Quest and Return – that are somehow even more captivating than Journey itself!
![journey pictures aaron becker quest-aaron-becker](https://www.crushingkrisis.com/assets/quest-aaron-becker-300x266.jpg)
Return begins similarly to Journey – the girl decides to travel to her secret world when her father doesn’t play with her. This time, her father follows her to her room and discovers the open door and the fantastical world on the other side. He finds the girl, boy, and king meeting together, but they’re interrupted with the guards and a machine that can vacuum up their colorful creations – and their chalk! A chase ensues, in which the girl’s father sees all the ingenious ways she’s learned how to use the chalk. However, they have to work together to figure out how to protect the girl’s red chalk from capture and free the king and the boy from the grips of the guards.
There is so much to love in both books, but I’ll simply highlight my favorite element of each.
![journey pictures aaron becker quest-aaron-becker-interior](https://www.crushingkrisis.com/assets/quest-aaron-becker-interior-300x135.jpg)
My main telling has the boy as much more tentative and unsure than the girl to emphasize how strong encouragement makes her a good leader and friend. However, there are other times I put them on more equal footing, or have them bicker amusingly. Sometimes the girl is cautious, while others she is headstrong and needs to be reeled back in by the boy.
Each person I’ve watched read it with EV gives the pair their own balance. The only thing you cannot really exclude is that the girl is clearly the protagonist of the series.
Return is The Empire Strikes Back of the trilogy, because the introduction of the father to the story includes several potentially mind-blowing revelations that fundamentally change the story depending on how much you fixate on the details of the book.
![journey pictures aaron becker return-aaron-becker](https://www.crushingkrisis.com/assets/return-aaron-becker-300x268.jpg)
- The father appears to be drawing at his work desk – what is his job or hobby?
- A door similar to the girl’s can be spotted in the father’s office early in the book. Does it already (or did it ever) lead to the fantasy world?
- The father and the girl both have looks of shock on their faces when they meet in the fantasy world. What is it that surprises each of them? What is it that causes the girl’s subsequent cross-armed reticence?
- The girl and her father encounter a series of seemingly prophetic sketches in a cave. How did they get there?
- Did the father always have the ability to draw in the world with his gray work pencil, or did something happen to cause it to be useful? And, do you think the gray looks similar to the gray of the guard’s armor?
If you read between the lines in those questions, you can see that there is an intriguing meta-narrative about the father that might change the meaning of the prior books depending on your interpretation. This is just one example of how the books open themselves up to growing in the retelling.
When I evaluate if a purchase was worthwhile, I do so on a matrix of dollars invested vs. time enjoyed vs. intensity of enjoyment. If I apply that matrix to the Journey books they are a relatively flat shape of nearly infinity length and width – meaning, they weren’t that expensive but there is no end to the time and amount of enjoyment EV gets from them. She walks around the house with them clutched tightly to her little chest, and will sit for an hour retelling the stories to her stuffed animals and toys.
My sole critique of Journey is that Becker missed an easy opportunity to diversify his cast in making the little boy anything other than white. We don’t meet any of his relatives (OR DO WE?), so his whiteness doesn’t create consistency with any other element of the book. Having him be a kid of color who makes fast friends with the girl and joins in her adventure would only add to the wordless power of these books in displaying friendship, loyalty, and cooperation.
The Journey Trilogy is breathtaking modern classic of fantasy from Aaron Becker that can captivate kids from age 2 to 102. All it takes to enjoy them is an imagination and a willingness to get lost in the beautiful details of his fantasy world. If your toddler isn’t quite enough for it yet, she’ll get there.

[Pictures] USA's Aaron Jones shares childhood photos with Jofra Archer amid 2024 T20 World Cup
A aron Jones, who represented the USA at the 2024 T20 World Cup, has shared childhood pictures with England pacer Jofra Archer. In a series of photos, the duo could be seen in shorts, domestic team jerseys, and international jerseys of the USA and England, respectively.
Notably, the two players have represented Barbados in Under-19 cricket and are primary and secondary school schoolmates. The pair spent their childhood dreaming of playing cricket together for West Indies.
On Tuesday, June 25, Jones shared the pictures on X and captioned the post:
"From boys to men. It really has been an incredible journey!"
The duo have gone from strength to strength in their cricket career. While Archer has established himself as the pace spearhead of England, Jones led in the absence of regular USA captain Monank Patel , who was injured, in a few games.
Jones smashed an unbeaten 94 and 36* against Canada and Pakistan, respectively, as the USA qualified for the Super-8 stage. The right-hander, however, failed to deliver against South Africa, West Indies, and England in the second round.
Meanwhile, Archer has bagged nine wickets in seven matches at the 2024 T20 World Cup following his international comeback after a lengthy injury layoff. The 29-year-old recently scalped 3/40 against the Proteas and remains a vital player for the defending champions.
"He's very competitive regardless the situation" – Aaron Jones hails Jofra Archer
Aaron Jones recently lauded his former teammate Jofra Archer and spoke about their camaraderie both on and off the field.
"We went primary school and secondary school together. It was always a competition. He's very competitive regardless the situation. Even outside cricket, when we played soccer, when we played road tennis, anything to be honest. He's a very competitive person," he told ESPNcricinfo.
"It's actually really an amazing journey, growing up as kids and then obviously branching off the plane. At that time we couldn't imagine playing for other countries. We always thought that we would play for Barbados and then West Indies. We got opportunities elsewhere and here we are now," Jones added.
Jofra Archer will next be seen in action when England take on India in the second semi-final at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday, June 27.
