From much-lauded artist Laura Ljungkvist, whose Follow the Line series earned pr
aise for its clean, Scandinavian style and ingenious premise, comes a playful bo
ard book perfect for the toddler and pre-K set, and sure to please parents who a
re fans of modern design.
Starting on the front cover, and winding its way acr
oss each page to the end, a single line forms different shapes that demonstrate
opposites ("clean" or "messy") in Ljungkvist's signature modern style. Children
can follow the playful and ingenious line, which winds its way across brightly c
olored and patterned pages, till it ultimately forms "you" and "me," for a warml
y charming ending.
Laura Ljungkvist has developed a fan base as the author and
illustrator of numerous children's titles, including the award-winning series F
ollow the Line (Viking, 2006-2011), "Pepi Sings a New Song" (Beach Lane, 2010) a
nd, most recently, as the illustrator of Mem Fox's"Yoo-Hoo, Lady Bug" (Beach Lan
e, 2013).
