We all have things about us that make us stand out, and in this way perhaps we are all a bit like Johnny Longnose. Originally published in Switzerland under the title Hans Naselang, this book features surreal paintings by Stasys Eidrigevičius and German poems by James Krüss (translated into English by Naomi Lewis). The delightful art and merry verse combine to give us the portrait of a cheerful being committed to using his natural talents to improve the world around him. #stasyseidrigevicius #jameskrüss #longnose #long #nose #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbook #beautifulbooks #beautifulbookcover #beautifulbookcovers #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
