I
love the illustrations in this wonderful book. Maira Kalman
is
one of America's favorite children's book authors and illustrators.
This book is part personal narrative, part documentary, part
travelogue, part diary and all Maira Kalman. Her whimsical, yet
sometimes tragic, illustrations show such warmth and sensitivity.
If you like this one, you'll love her beautiful
illustrations in
Strunk and White's "Elements of Style".
Also for lovers of children's books, I wouldn't want to overlook Ms.
Kalman's wonderful and fanciful classics such as, Max Makes a Million,
Ooh-La-La (Max in Love), and what Pete Ate from A-Z. There is
something for everyone in these charming books.
