Roxaboxen Hardcover - 1991
by Alice McLerran; Barbara Cooney (Illustrator)
Marian called it Roxaboxen. 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.
From the rear cover
Marian called it Roxaboxen. (She always knew the name of everything.) There across the road, it looked like any rocky hill -- nothing but sand and rocks, some old wooden boxes, cactus and greasewood and thorny ocotillo -- but it was a special place: a sparkling world of jeweled homes, streets edged with the whitest stones, and two ice cream shops. Come with us there, where all you need to gallop fast and free is a long stick and a soaring imagination.
In glowing desert hues, artist Barbara Cooney has caught the magic of Alice McLerran's treasured land of Roxaboxen -- a place that really was, and, once you've been there, always is.
