Beatrice Alemagna tells her story using both traditional pages and translucent vellum, so that at moments, we look through Gisele as we read. The illustrations are rich textured collage, dreamlike and surrealist and unlike anything else. A story about the particular vulnerability of being seen and the long journey toward being at home in yourself. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abrams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45194999038150,"sku":"1125-BOK-THEFST","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/4763\/6422\/files\/Child_Glass_1_2f5afbdb-399e-4190-a779-b0fb2c08ec80.jpg?v=1779291635"},{"product_id":"the-forest","title":"The Forest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA child stands at the edge of a forest.

Part picture book and part graphic novel, rendered in paint and cut-paper art, and standing a foot tall, it is a striking object. In the story, we meet a young boy named Lorenzo who discovers an old desk and a magical notebook inside it. A story within a story, When You Look Up celebrates the ways that reading and imagination can open us to new ways of seeing the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abrams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45194999627974,"sku":"1125-BOK-LOOSDS","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/4763\/6422\/files\/When_You_Look_Up_1_ef590d4a-c89b-4d1e-9698-ad672c95425a.jpg?v=1775843101"},{"product_id":"the-invention-of-hugo-cabret","title":"The Invention of Hugo Cabret","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Invention of Hugo Cabret made me reconsider what a book can be. A novel told through words and pictures, it tells the story of an orphan living secretly inside the walls of a Paris train station and the mystery he is desperate to solve. Selznick's pencil illustrations unspool in long, wordless sequences that feel like watching a film. I love to gift it to kids ages nine and older, when children are ready to be swept away by something different and ambitious.

Suddenly three shapeshifting magicians burst free — an elephant, a blackbird, and a red-haired girl — each setting off on their own journey, pursued by a fierce young Huntress and a mechanical lion-dragon named Clinker. French graphic artist Blexbolex's 182-page tour de force is impossible to categorize: part graphic novel, part picture book, part art object, part waking dream. The silkscreen-style illustrations, the unusually light, silky paper,  the text that runs in blue capitals beneath each image — all of these elements work together to create something different and unusual. The Wall Street Journal called it exceptional. Brian Selznick called it another utterly surprising gift. One School Library Journal blogger called it \"not even the same species as traditional children's books.\" All three are right. A book for anyone who has ever believed in magic — and for anyone who believes in books.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spiral Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45706346299590,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/4763\/6422\/files\/The_Magicians.jpg?v=1778448062"}],"url":"https:\/\/spiralbooksnyc.com\/collections\/visual-wonders.oembed","provider":"Spiral Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
