How it is... by Nicolas Burrows

This spiral-bound paperback book by London-based artist Nicolas Burrows is for children and anyone young at heart. Its narrative sequences play with the concepts of sound and color through lively illustrations and easy language that combine to reinterpret our world. His imagining of the natural environment lends a fresh perspective on how we see, hear, touch and experience the everyday. It’s a warm, charmingly naive encouragement of curiosity, observation and appreciation for the simple things in life.
