Återberättelse efter Leo Tolstoj - en av flera berättelser där han inspirerats av barn och barns handlingar. Hassan Zahreddine föddes i Libanon 1969. Han har studerat måleri i Beirut och grafik i Montreal. Han har fått flera priser i arabvärlden för sina illustrationer. 2021 emigrerade Zahreddine till Kanada där han frilansar som grafisk konstnär. Bokens illustrationer är gjorda med linoleumsnitt i en stil som påminner om den folkkonst som var vanlig i ryska barnböcker under 1900-talet.

What is a good toy?To find out, learn to make your own! Follow the step-by-step instructions in this book, and come up with an unbelievable range of playthings using simple everyday materials. All of them are based on a vanishing tradition of so-called folk toys, which used to be created by small time toymakers from all over India.With clues, poems and jokes thrown in, children will find the instructions easy to follow on their own. Adults working with children will notice how they begin to explore, value and handle physical material intelligently – an important sense to restore in an increasingly virtual world.In addition to toy making, the book also looks at the science behind some of them. A thought provoking last section is meant for adults who would like to think through the complex issues of toys and play in today’s world: how can we enable free and open-ended play which is not tied to expensive products, virtual reality, ready-made stories, or regressive notions of gender?

A seed is a miracle. It is neither alive nor dead, yet holds within itself the potential for life. When it meets the right conditions, it starts to unfurl, witha promise of plenty and the hope of regeneration.The astonishing variety of traits that a seed holds can be looked at in terms of botany, but also through the lens of art, culture and history. But it is only by connecting these modes—bringing together science and imagination, knowing and relishing—that we can begin to grasp nature with the wonder that it deserves.This gorgeous handcrafted book makes these connections in two unprecedented ways. The exquisite imagery it features has been created by artists from the Warli tribe in western India. The Warlis nurture a felt kinship with nature to this day, so their art embodies rich ecological knowledge systems in an intrinsic way.The book also connects form and meaning. Linked by short concise essays, four distinct paper forms explore a diverse set of themes: each designed to capture a particular aspect of the cosmos contained in a seed. An unusual collaboration between indigenous Warli artists, a writer-gardener and book artisans, this book is a celebration of the miracle that is the seed and its place in our lives and culturesA crossover picture book that brings together botany, history and story to express deep ecological understandingForegrounds the human relationship to seeds, expressed through metaphor, folktale and symbolSilkscreen-printed on kraft paper and hardbound, a fine instance of culture speaking to nature through artisanshipFour form of the book - pop-up, scroll, booklet and foldout - stitched and bound within a single cover extend the meanings of text and artA book for all seasons and readers - that speaks to our shared and evolved instinct to grow and cultivate, persevere and transmit plant life An ideal and meaningful gift for all ages
