picture books in the NYT


Have you read this article in the NYT last week? 

If you love picture books, you'll find it pretty hard to take--not much in there I agreed with.

How sad that it becomes all about graduating and grades and teaching you something--instead of recognizing the incredible power of a story in and of itself-- however it is told, with illustrations or not. 

A story can do so much more than just teach you. 

It can transform you.

If you think picture books are important, then feel free respond to the article in the NYT site here.

bookish coffee sideways: v cool design

designed by Anurag Nema

D'Espresso, 317 Madison Avenue (42nd Street)

Nema turns a normal room sideways. Glazed tiles printed with images of books created the illusion of bookshelves tilted sideways, running along the ceiling, down the rear wall and onto the floor.

very cool
