possibilities! novelty books
A simple graphite pencil to draw a series of parallel lines, forming a grid… and a lot of
imagination! The starting point for a smart and surprising book, that reveals multiple
visual proposals, decors and characters. Like a playful ode to the infinite possibilities
and interpretations.
This game will amuse and surprise readers of all ages, with a rhythm bouncing from
one line to the next, from one page to another. The author invites the reader to find
similarities between colours, themes – or not; like playing at hopping on one foot and
putting glasses on to see the world differently. Simply let go of the handrail and enjoy
a change of perspective…
