Roxaboxen

Marian called it Roxaboxen. There across the road, it looked like any rocky hill - nothing but sand and rocks, some old wooden boxes, and cactus - but it was a special place, where all you needed to gallop fast and free were a stick and a soaring imagination. In glowing desert hues, artist Barbara Cooney has caught the magic of Alice McLerran's treasured land of Roxaboxen. Full-color illustrations.
