SUMMARY:Julie Benbassat for "The Book from Far Away"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nIn this fantastical picture book perfect for fans of Aaron Becker’s Journey\, a human child and a child from another planet discover that no matter where you live or what your books are like\, reading—and sharing—are universal. \nA cosmic celebration of the joy of sharing books and having new experiences awaits readers in this captivating wordless picture book for ages 3 to 6. A child busy reading in a treehouse spots a family who seems to have just arrived on Earth for a picnic. The youngest member of the alien family holds a mind-bendingly strange object. Could it be a book from outer space? At the end of this gorgeously illustrated tale\, each child returns home with a book from far away to remember a kind stranger. Sure to take its place among gently fantastical favorites like Sophie Blackall’s If You Come to Earth and Carson Ellis’s Du Iz Tak?\, this picture book will enchant and delight curious kids and book lovers everywhere. \n“Amazing! Bruce and Julie have created a wonderful addition to the wordless book canon. Julie’s beautiful art is rich with detail and visual invention. She shows everyday and otherworldly incidents through flowing\, organic compositions that carry the reader on a delightfully strange\, compelling\, and heartwarming adventure.” — David Wiesner\, 3-time winner of the Caldecott Medal \nAbout the Illustrator:\nJulie Benbassat is an illustrator based in New Jersey. Since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2019\, Julie has created illustrations for The New Yorker\, the New York Times\, and NPR\, among others. She is the illustrator of The Screaming Hairy Armadillo and 76 Other Animals with Weird\, Wild Names (Workman\, 2020). This is her first picture book. \nEvent will be in person.
