From the creator of the celebrated
Black Bird Yellow Sun
comes another bold and beautiful concept book, this time playing with opposites and reversals.
Black cat. White cat. One is
long,
stretching out, and the other is
short,
crouching
.
When both perch in a window, one tail is
straight,
the other one
curly.
One has an
empty
plate, and the other a
full
one. With a mouse to entertain them, variously
lost
and
found,
they move through the day, until one cat is
awake
and the other
asleep,
but for how long? With enchanting ink illustrations full of pure color, simple shapes, and an elegant use of negative and positive space, this concept board book for the youngest of readers is a joy to behold — and as graceful as a leaping cat.
