If You Run Out of Words

After a long phone call one day, author/illustrator Felicita Sala's daughter asked her, “Mum, what if you talk so much that you run out of words, and then there won’t be any left for me?” Her daughter's worry developed into a picture book where a little girl asks her father the same question. Dad is ready with an answer: "I'd have to go pay a visit to the Elves' Word Factory." But what if he gets lost in the woods? The father answers his daughter's questions by weaving one fantastical scenario after another as he tucks her into bed. Sala's rich and vibrantly colored illustrations make this a beautiful bedtime book to share.
