If I were a book

This sweet celebration of the magic and wonder of books is for readers of all ages. André Letria’s whimsical illustrations of books as kites, tents, boats, and more, pair beautifully with José Jorge Letria’s thoughtful prose about the joys of reading. In the hands of this internationally acclaimed father-and-son team, a book becomes a mountain to reveal the magnificent views (“If I were a book, I would be full of new horizons”) and an endless staircase of imagination (“If I were a book, I would not want to know how the story ends at the beginning”). With art and words woven seamlessly together, this small tribute to a reader’s best friend will be a timeless treasure on any bookshelf.
