I am in love with a picture book!!!

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce
I am sure that this has happened many times before, but I am absolutely smitten with this book!  A friend at the library discovered it, and brought it to my attention (thanks, Sarah!).  It is stunning-- not only visually, but also in words and sentiment.  I knew from the first page that I most own this book.
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
The first three lines read:
"Morris Lessmore loved words.
He loved stories.
He loved books."

This is my book.  I might not have written it, or drawn the pictures, but it is mine.  If you love picture books, read it, and make it yours, too.
