March 1956, Mud Bay, Ketchikan, Alaska. A baby is born. Through skylights, keyholes, and magnifying glasses, we see the world around us through its eyes. Moving from the infinitely small to the infinitely large—from a beetle squirming under a magnifying glass to stars twinkling in a telescope lens, from a seaplane flying overhead to a shuttle plowing through the vastness of space—we watch as it grows, makes discoveries, dreams of space, loses a loved one, finds love, crosses the atmosphere, raises a son, endures separation, and returns to its parents' home. Human life unfolds before us, simple and grandiose.
In 2019, Tom Ogoma's 'Through' won the BolognaRagazzi Award at the Bologna International Children's Book Fair and the Talking Picture Award at the New York Book Fair.
