Short biography
Diplômée des prestigieuses écoles Estienne ainsi que des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, Marie-Laure Cruschi, alias Cruschiform, est une jeune artiste française vivant entre Paris et Montréal. Son travail se situe au carrefour de l’art, du graphisme, de l’illustration et de la typographie. Particulièrement sensible à la couleur et aux formes géométriques, Cruschiform aime expérimenter des dispositifs graphiques à la fois ludiques et poétiques afin de créer des univers narratifs délicats et singuliers, sans cesse renouvelés. Cruschiform est portée par l’envie de questionner notre façon de regarder le monde, de se l’approprier et de le donner à voir. Ainsi au quotidien elle met sa sensibilité au service des petits, lorsqu’elle œuvre en tant qu’auteur-illustrateur pour l’édition jeunesse, comme aux plus grands, lorsqu’elle collabore avec la presse culturelle internationale et les grandes agences de communication. À ce jour Cruschiform a réalisé 3 albums avec les éditions Gallimard Jeunesse, collaboré avec de nombreuses revues ainsi que de grandes marques. Cabins est sa première collaboration avec les éditions Taschen.

Though marketed as a children's book, this is a classy graphic design book about colour. Beautifully illustrated, and organised in a quirky manner, this is a good book for all colour lovers.

Make sure to check the index and the category the colours are organised by.

Summary:
This minimalist picture book compares the speeds of different things ranging from animals, to machines, to the rotation of planet earth. The author begins at 0.2 miles per hour and ends the book at 60,000 miles per hour.

Review:
I think this book is a great example of science picture book to have in an early elementary classroom. Though there are not very many words on each page, the meaning is clear. Additionally, the author includes both metric and standard speed measurements. This book would be a great way to have younger students begin to make comparisons between different things by identifying which objects were able to move at similar speeds. Further inquiry can take place by having students notice the similarities between the things that move at the same speed. They can then discuss why those factors might help an animal or machine to move faster or slower.… (more)

This book is an interesting one, because it features very few words. The book is structured to show a speed on the left page, and a person/animal/thing that goes that speed on the right. The book starts at .3km/h, and works its way up to +100,000 km/h for a shooting star. At the end of the book, there is a comprehensive glossary of all the subjects featured, as well as speed itself. I really enjoyed the simplicity of this book as well as its sophisticated illustrations. When studying force and motion, this would be a great reference for students, or a good conversation starter, as it doesn't impose too many ideas upon the reader.… (more)
