  • About this book

    This magnificent new title by Icinori is both a wordbook of things to be thankful for and a thrilling outdoor trip.

     

    “Thank you Alarm Clock, thank you Soap, thank you Teapot, thank you Shoes…” This book starts as a wordbook with an original angle: a list of simple, obvious things which inhabit our daily lives, to remind us that we should be grateful for them. Each object or element leads to another, soon forming a real, action-packed story.


    We follow a fearless adventurer as he crosses the sea on a raft, jumps from an airplane with a parachute during a thunderstorm or makes friends with wild beasts in the jungle… In this novel version of the wordbook, the object is not merely named but becomes part of a story, inviting children to look at the world surrounding them with a new gaze.

     

    • Acclaimed duo Icinori renew their sumptuous artwork, with poetic shapes, various styles and a narrow pallet of colours.


    • Outstanding press review: “A work that builds beauty at every page” (Libération); “A list of the things that make one’s heart’s beat” (L’Humanité); “Evanescent art, full of nods, that invites to read the book again as soon as one closes it” (Le Monde).
