Arm in Arm

Thirteen picture stories develop separately and simultaneously.

Thirteen

I Love You

A book of creative metamorphosis and stunning visuals that will bend children's imaginations and appeal to all ages. "One of my own personal childhood favorites..." --Brian Selznick Thirteen is no ordinary picture book. It is book of visual and conceptual revolutions, metamorphoses, and narratives that swallow their own tails. In thirteen illustrated stories, plus "a preview of coming attractions," nothing less than the birth of the world, its duration, death, and rebirth occurs, in thirteen arresting and evolving tableaus, involving a sinking ship, a play, a leaf and caterpillar, a card trick, swans, a worm, Cinderella, the alphabet, paper magic, pyramids, a getting-thin-and-getting-fat-again dance, the fall and rise of civilization, and a countdown. This is not a book you read from beginning to end, so much as one you enter into, are absorbed by and transformed, like the thirteen tableaus themselves.

A busy girl recounts all of the things she has to do in a day as she tries to find time to read.

It Looks Like Snow

Fortunatamente

Created by the prolific and visionary Remy Charlip, this singular picture book begins with an empty scene, asking 'where is everybody?' Gradually, Charlip introduces landscape and characters from the ground up, showing young readers that to tell a story is to build a world.

Word games and pictorial concepts to be explored by children.

A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year. In Arm in Arm, Remy Charlip, the great children’s book author and illustrator, is at his most playful, his zaniest, funniest, and cleverest. He rewrites the rules of riddles, tongue twisters, puns, and performance-based play, or rather, throws all rules out the window. Some pages require turning the book completely around, 360 degrees. A magnifying glass may also be useful. It is a book for kids of all ages.
