Un Instant Sur La Terre/ A Moment On Earth
$25.00
At the same moment on Earth, depending on where you are, opposite phenomena occur: it is night somewhere, and it is day elsewhere. The sun shines here, and the rain falls there. At the same moment on Earth, the time differs from one time zone to another, and today, someone is already living in tomorrow! With delicacy and poetry, Seoha Lim plays with gravity and stages two sides of the same moment, addressing complex notions with simplicity.

Paper Poems
Books for 12-18y, Books for 5-8y, Books for 8-12y “My life as an artist began alone in a room with colored paper and scissors creating shoes from tissue boxes and elaborate but flimsy cities for my animal figurines. Cutting, folding, and arranging paper remains my first language in color and form and the first step in my design process from furniture to websites, book layouts, typography, and more. With scissors I carve out the shapes of animals and objects from memory, investigating which lines and curves contain the gist. In this issue, the private meditations that fuel my design process are gathered as standalone works—poems made of paper.”

Where Do We Go When We Die?
Books for 5-8y Where do we go when we die? Maybe we turn into our favourite animal, or we go on a space trip, or we fall very very deeply asleep. The truth is that if nobody knows then all answers are possible, so you can imagine and believe whatever you want... Samy Ramos starts from the grandiosity of the universe to tell us that this world is made up of many, many things, and that to understand some of them you have to know many more. Where do we go when we die? is a delicate and extremely honest book that tackles a subject that children have always wondered about and asked questions about, reminding us that there is not always an answer for everything. And that sometimes it is OK not to have answers at all.
