Time is a Flower PICTURE BOOK by Julie Morstad
Firstly, Morstad is a CANADIAN author/illustrator and Secondly, her work is poetically poignant and Thirdly it features diverse characters. Representation matters.
The concept of time is such an abstract notion for kids. Each layout plays with different ideas of time using transformative art styles that will appeal to children.
I love the way she plays with negative space, scale and colour. Every page demands a conversation. The figurative language and different perspectives are profound. I’d rather just share some pages with you to give you a feel of her message and style.
A treasure of a book!
