Book Description
A beautifully atmospheric look at the world through simple words and illustrations which slowly build a poignant picture of the way we live. Through objects, places and actions, the world is revealed as both permanent and ever-changing. Seasons will appeal to children, adults, designers, art-lovers... 'At first glance, this is a beautiful art book reminiscent of the children's book illustration of the 1960s. 'The most striking thing about it for me is that it forces you to slow down and to reflect on the associations within, which are not always immediately obvious. When you read the book as a whole, you really do get the sense that the world is both changing and unchanging. It's a meditation. The more times you read this book, the more you get out of it.' - Julia Marshall, publisher
