A wordless story
A young girl is taking a subway/train home with her parents. As they progress through the city they pass through a tunnel and when they come out on the other side...they are out in the countryside!? The train is stopped by a boy waving a flag. Everyone else appears to be dozing, so the girl steps off the train, to be greeted by a hoard of....LITTLE....umm....SMALL....umm....MINIATURE kids. Their airplane has gotten stuck high up in a tree. Together they figure out how to get it down, a warning comes from the train that it's about to leave, she says goodbye to her new friends, and returns to the train. It enters another tunnel only to re-emerge back into the midst of the bustling city. After she gets home, in flies the plane she helped save, loaded with two of her new friends and a tiny potted tree, which she plants in the yard.
Barbara Lehman has done another great piece of storytelling without uttering a single word.
