The first pages

Nia loved the big city library in Chicago. It had tall windows, cozy beanbags and shelves that seemed to reach the sky.

Today Nia wanted a book about octopuses. She looked and looked, but there were so many shelves that she could not find one.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
