My Valley Av Claude Ponti

In My Valley, Claude Ponti leads us on a journey through an enchanted world inhabited by Touims (tiny, adorable, monkey-like creatures), secret tree dwellings, flying buildings, and sad giants. Clever language and beautifully detailed maps of imaginary landscapes will delight children and adults alike. Ponti himself has said, ''My stories are like fairytales, always situated in the marvelous, speaking to the interior life and emotions of children. That way each child can get what they want out of the images: the characters and dreams are their own.'' A new imprint from Archipelago Books.
