Children's Literature

Designed as a tool to help small children see pattern, texture and color within the big picture, this is one of a series by this photographer/author. Circles approximately 2 inches in diameter are cut in solid black pages to reveal a small segment of the photo on the following page. A small circle of light green veins is a cabbage leaf. Turn the page again and see numerous heads of cabbage. Pigeons, a dog, pretzels and ostriches are among the images featured. The black page is a bit oppressive for young children.
