Abstract: Progettato insieme a Giovanni Belgrano nel 1975, Trasformazioni si compone di 60 carte da accostare in orizzontale o in verticale per creare sequenze di immagini ogni volta nuove e uniche. Animali visti da vicino e da lontano, chiome e radici di alberi, fiori, ghiande, diventano elementi combinabili tra loro in tanti modi diversi, da smontare e rimontare per costruire storie visive in continua trasformazione. Una carta dopo l'altra, si possono prendere infinite direzioni, ad esempio salendo da una tana sottoterra fino al cielo in un percorso pieno di sorprese. Il gioco sviluppa sia l'attività linguistica che quella dell'organizzazione dello spazio.

Abstract: Often, after school, Sally goes to her grandmother's house where everything is different, but always the same. She puts her coat on the hook in the hall, pours a glass of milk for herself in the kitchen and tries to reach the biscuit tin on the highest shelf in the pantry. But where is Grandma? Children will love exploring the rooms in Grandma's House, peering through its cut-out pages from one room to the next and journeying high up into the fold-out attic in search of Sally's grandma. Highly detailed and intricately illustrated in Alice Melvin's trademark style, Grandma's House is evidence of one of Britain's shining stars of illustration going from strength to strength.

Abstract: The picture book debut of Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of the Wildwood series and Lemony Snicket's The Composer is Dead, this is a gorgeous, imaginative celebration of the many possibilities of home. Home might be a house in the country, a flat in the city, or even a shoe. There are clean homes, messy homes, sea homes and bee homes. Home resides on the road or the sea, in the realm of myth, or in the artist's own studio. This loving look at the places where people live brims with intriguing characters and is a visual treat that demands many a return visit.
