It's not often you find a children's book told completely in verse,
with stunning illustrations that tell the story in a vibrant visual
way. But, thankfully, the two-volume 'Little Tommy and the Kingdom
of Clouds' is such a book, and as such deserves to become a
treasure of childhood literature. The books outline in a unique and
original way the adventures of Little Tommy, a small boy, who,
thanks to a magical ring he finds, is whisked away to the
enchanting Kingdom of Clouds. Here he befriends a whole host of
animals with fantastic talents, particularly in sports and the
arts. The stories highlight the qualities of imagination,
creativity and hope, as well as the importance of friendship and
following your dreams. Each passage in both volumes is reinforced
by the superlative illustrations of Ukrainian artist, Nick
Solonair, which I am sure both children and adults will love. The
whole story takes the reader on a thrilling journey into someone
else's world...across the Rainbow Staircase to the magical Kingdom
of Clouds. So why not join Little Tommy on that journey and take a
peek at his amazing adventures....": Agnes Meadows, Poet &
Writer
This board book version of Georgia O'Keeffe - from the critically

played. As an adult, she painted all day. From New York City to New

Paul Klee defined himself as a " painter poet" , and his art
perfectly reflects that phrase. He was interested in colour, and
formed friendships with other artists also exploring colour, such
as Kandinsky, Picasso and Braque. His experimentation with
backgrounds, shapes, colour, sign and pictograms, as well as with
light and colour, are all portrayed in his work. This book contains
six of his most famous paintings and, with over 75 large-sized
stickers, it allows both children and adults to experiment
themselves, placing the re-usable stickers on different paintings
to see how small - and large - changes, completely change a work of
art. Sylvie Delpech studied history of art and worked in imaging
technology for television, before returning to Paris, where she
works in photography and on children' s books.
