There are more than 20 inventive, poetic, color spreads of New York City in this 56-page volume. The compelling photographs of New York City are overlaid with magical illustrations about the life and journey of a sparrow named Emma.
About the book: Emma lives in Central Park, where, like any young sparrow, she goes to school, eats ice cream, and plays with her friends. But when her friend Duckyduck departs on his first migration, she begins to spend time with her uncle. Her dream of seeing Paris is born from listening to the enchanting stories that her Uncle Bob tells about his French ancestors and from Emma's delight in looking at his postcards. This is a fantastic book to daydream over and read aloud, about a little sparrow of character whose imagination is broad and deep and whose nerve is equal to her dreams. About the authors:  Claire Frossard was born in Versailles, not far from the famous Château. She left for Alsace in 1997 to pursue her studies at the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. Since then, she has worked as an illustrator, creating children's books and drawings for the press. In 1998, she made her first trip to New York to visit her uncle Etienne, who is a photographer by profession.As so many before her, Claire fell in love with New York. Over the next ten years, Claire dreamed of returning. Then, early in 2009, she finally arrived back in New York, with the sparse beginnings of Emma's Journey in her suitcase and the address of Enchanted Lion Books in her pocket. Emma's Journey is a melding of Claire's words and illustrations and Etienne's photographs and is the fruit of the passion that they share for New York. Etienne Frossard is a freelance photographer who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He was born in 1956 and grew up in France. His pictures have appeared in magazines like Newsweek, Time Out New York, Metropolis, and New York Living. His Brooklyn Bridge images have received awards from Advertising Photographers of America, The New York Foundation for the Arts, and PDN World in Focus.  powerHouse Arena, 37 Main Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 tel: 212.604.9074 fax: 212.366.5247 email: llalan@powerHouseArena.com | |||
