Tiger Flower

From the preface; "The child's world is the poet's world...."

What if perspective is shifted? What if everything that is meant to be big is now small, and vice versa? What if the king of the jungle no longer had to uphold that reputation? What if butterflies grew large enough that their wings could be useful?

Gorgeous, amazing art by [a:Fleur Cowles|221462|Fleur Cowles|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1250053695p2/221462.jpg]. I definitely want to see more.

Read the scanned archive copy on openlibrary, but would love to see it in paper (or own it in paper, and frame the pages).

I was quite young when I reached the sad conclusion that while I really loved pictures, I did not care for art and would never collect paintungs: Tiger Flower gave me renewed hope in the fine art medium when I saw that the exquisite illustrations were actually all paintings, owned by various people, museums and galleries around the world. The story sucks - not an uncommon occurance in books with sublime graphics - but the pictures are simply wonderful.
