Details
In this lyrical craft book, artist Sophie Benini Pietromarchi invites children on a fantastic journey through the world of bookmaking. Exploring colours, textures, shapes and feelings, she demonstrates how these intangible elements can be turned into pictorial narratives, using such unlikely everyday fodder as pencil shavings, onions, dust and leaves. This visual feast of a book-which evolved from workshops with children-is a tribute to the rich imaginative world in all of us. Simple enough to be used by children without adult help, it is perfect as a holiday or classroom activity book, featuring exercises in drawing, creative writing and book making.
