“[Late Today] is so wonderful–one of the most captivating picture books I’ve read in awhile. It tells the story of drivers stuck in morning commuter traffic in Seoul. On the opening pages, the reader sees simple, spare text in white space: “8:15 a.m. We can’t be late today.” On the opposite side of the page, Lee has painted a sea of cars, bumper-to-bumper, sitting at a red light. The combination of text, art, and design elicit a visceral feeling, and they continue to work together in this evocative way throughout the story. (I have few words to adequately describe how expertly this book has been illustrated and designed! You’ll just have to pick it up. Don’t miss the endpages.)”
