Summary

This charmingly illustrated children’s book follows a note left for a friend as it embarks on a “delightful adventure through the great outdoors” (School Library Journal). In I Wrote You a Note, acclaimed children’s author and illustrator Lizi Boyd shares the story of a girl who writes a note and leaves it outside for her friend to find. When the note is picked up by a turtle, it embarks on a wild adventure as various woodland creatures use it for various purposes. For a duck and her ducklings, the note becomes a dock; for a spider, it becomes a bridge; and so on, until it finally makes its way to the intended recipient.  The repetition and rhythm of the spare text make this a captivating read-aloud story, while the humor and colorful characters make it perfect for young readers to follow on their own. The brilliantly colored paintings share the gentleness of the text while celebrating nature, curiosity, imagination, and friendship.
