@katehoefler and @imageblockstudio regard both the macrocosmic and the microcosmic elements of our world, celebrating the connections between them, in their grand collaboration Great Big Things. A small mouse makes its way across a wide, sweeping terrain. Clutching a morsel of food, the enterprising little rodent traverses broad forests, deep oceans, and snowcapped mountains, all to bring a little bit of food to an eagerly waiting loved one. Hoefler’s stripped-down text drifts in and out of engaging rhythm and rhyme in pursuit of tender emotion. Klocek’s illustrations, a mix of graphite and digital technique, intersperse the stunning landscape images with topographical map panels to reinforce the scope of the mouse’s epic quest. #great #big #things #mouse #mice #journey #world #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbooks #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookillustrations #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
