The Wordy Book - Julie Paschkis

"Some children’s books feel like classics the first time one encounters them. It’s not hard to imagine young poets embracing The Wordy Book as warmly as new generations keep embracing The Little Prince.” ?Naomi Shihab Nye, for the New York TimesA Publishers Weekly High-Concept Picture Book for ChildrenSelected for 2021 Society of Illustrators Original Art ExhibitionThis 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.
