Roxaboxen tells the tale (a true one at that) of a group of children who create their own village with rocks and boxes (thus, Roxaboxen). The illustrations are simple, yet beautiful, and the wonderful story is of how the children used their imagination and creativity to create a timeless adventure. In this day of gameboys and computer games, this book is a refreshing change of pace.
