The Wordy Book

<i>"Some children’s books feel like classics the first time one encounters them. It’s not hard to imagine young poets embracing </i>The Wordy Book<i> as warmly as new generations keep embracing </i>The Little Prince<i>.”</i>―Naomi Shihab Nye, for the <i>New York Times</i><p><br></p><p><b>A <i>Publishers Weekly</i> High-Concept Picture Book for Children<br>Selected for 2021 Society of Illustrators Original Art Exhibition<br></b></p><p><br></p><p>This book is a collection of paintings made up of words upon words, all moving, interacting, and creating a visually stunning and wordy universe. Each page contains a question to be answered with the words that lie within. What happens when words and pictures coexist in such a way, bump into one another, are in constant conversation? How might words paint a bird, while that very bird sings the words themselves? This book invites readers to participate in a vibrant celebration of language itself.</p><p></p>
