"Open Your Eyes, and Look"

Here's a wonderful review of LOOK AND BE GRATEFUL in THE WASHINGTON POST.

"In fewer than 50 words, picture-book master Tomie dePaola shares a recipe for happiness... Bring a copy to the holiday table and then leave it behind for rereading."

The "New" MICHAEL BIRD-BOY

HUGE, in comparison to the original edition, the "new" MICHAEL BIRD-BOY has been redesigned with a much larger format than the original edition.

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"

ISBN 978-1-4814-4333-3

The "New" ANDY, THAT'S MY NAME

HUGE, in comparison to the original edition, the "new" ANDY, THAT'S MY NAME has been redesigned with a much larger format than the original edition.

"I may be little, but... I'm very important!"

ISBN 978-1-4814-4233-6

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!
