""Beautiful and inspiring."
"Wonderfully presented.""
Even though, this book is categorized as a children's book, it is
timeless and ageless because the underlying theme of the book is
love; teaches children at a very early age of the positive effect
love has in their everyday lives. This beautifully, delicately and
highly sensitively illustrated book shows the exquisite taste and
inner joy of the love the artist has toward the world. It wakes up
feelings inside when staring at the elegant artwork. So mush
detail, time, and care into each page The illustrations and text
are etchings made on individual cooper plates where a needle is
used to draw into wax ground applied over the copper plate. The
plate is then submerged in acid bath which bites only into the
exposed parts of the metal surface. The wax is removed, ink is
forced into the etched depressions, the unetched surfaces are
wiped, and an impression is printed with a special printing press.
After the print is produced, the artist water colors each print by
hand. The style appeals not only to the eyes, but also to the
feelings inside the heart. It seems to calm and comfort, while
bringing up feelings of excitement and wonder... Time to start
exploring and to make this a better world for everyone in it.
