Omschrijving
If you haven’t guessed already, I love, love, absolutely love this book. Read it and ponder on what the power of the story does for you.
It’s a work of art to savour, share, and re-read many times.
A Child of Books is a beautiful celebration of the magic and worlds harnessed by books.
The sparse verbal text comes alive with Jeffers’ clever work, integrating many well-known and loved stories. The visual elements executed are original and exceptional. The book as a whole package is one of loveliness.
How sweet too, a story about sharing in the magic of reading. It served to remind me of how lucky I am, how lucky my kids are, to be surrounded by beautiful literature.
