Summary:
This volume serves as an illustrated herbarium, a work of popular science, and an art book, all in one. It showcases the incredible diversity and miraculous properties of nearly 150 seeds from across the globe. Each page features a single seed, brought to life through exquisite illustrations that capture its intricate details and unique characteristics; it is organized by the ways in which seeds are dispersed—by wind, water, or human and animal interaction. The book features brief, engaging texts that explain how nature has perfectly designed each seed for its specific role. Readers will encounter the brilliant green spiral of the alfalfa seed, which scatters far and wide when grown in the wild. They will find new fascination in familiar seeds like the sugar maple’s jewel-like propellers and the wild carrot’s dome of tiny white flowers.

A book for babies and their parents about the whole new world that they both encounter when the baby arrives. When the new baby arrives, both the baby and the parents are in for a steep learning curve. In this book, born out of personal experience, internationally renowned author/illustrator Isol brings us a dual narrative and guide. For babies, there’s a rich range of images of babies and all their functions to look at. From crying, to nursing, to peeing and pooing, to looking, to hearing, to deciding that this weird new world they’ve entered is worth staying in (because they finally recognize that in every grown-up they see a former baby), there are hours of fun and amusement, since babies love nothing better than looking at and talking about themselves.

La poétesse nous invite à affronter crânement nos peurs les plus profondes (des chiens méchants, des fantômes dans les nuages, des lions en liberté, des inconnus tapis dans l’ombre...) et nous rend ainsi le pouvoir d’agir. Les peintures de Basquiat rendent, elles, compte des émotions puissantes et de l’imaginaire inépuisable de l’enfance.
