The "New" MICHAEL BIRD-BOY

From the front book flap:
"This fortieth anniversary edition of Tomie dePaola's classic picture book uses a light touch to address environmental themes just as relevant today as when this book was initially published"

The "New" STREGA NONA


The art department at Simon & Schuster recently scanned the original artwork - created over forty years ago - for STREGA NONA. This edition uses those new scans in a subtly redesigned 40th Anniversary Edition featuring illustrations with nuances of color and texture as never before seen.

The 40th Anniversary Edition has the words "Celebrating 40 Years!" in the lower left corner of the front dust jacket.

The "new" STREGA NONA, as never before seen, brought Tomie to tears.  Thanks to Laurent Linn, Art Director at S & S Children's Publishing!
