Incredible...

The author is a professor at the art school I go to and I got the priviledge of seeing her book and hearing about the process of making it. It is, perhaps, the most beautiful children's book I have ever seen. All of the art is made from sewn fabrics and has the most brilliant colors. The story is fun, and most importantly, cultural. Every kid should have this book, and adults too. I am 20 and I already put it on my Christmas list!
