Here Is a Book : A Picture Book

Omtale

A love letter to books, showing how many elements and people contribute to making something beautiful, from Caldecott honoree Elisha CooperMultiple starred reviews: "An immediate classic."* / "Special...bringing the parts of the book together into one unified message."** / "A steo-by-step representation of how a book comes into being."*** In this poetic and beautifully illustrated ode to creativity and the process of making books, Caldecott honoree Elisha Cooper takes readers on a journey showing how words and art move from one person to another. From writer to reader, and everyone who contributes in between: Here is a book, made with love. An artist’s studio overflows with sketches, drafts, a wastebasket, and wonder. A publisher’s office hums with computers, layouts, coffee, and teamwork. A printer makes a layout into a book using presses, ink, paper, and time. And that book travels to a school, to a library, to a student, to a home. * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books; **Booklist; ***Publishers Weekly
