Now in an archival quality (removable) Brodart cover. Greek translation of Sarah Perry's "If . . .", originally published in English by the J. Paul Getty Museum and Children's Library Press, 1995. Each spread poses a single fantastic premise ("If cats could fly . . .", "If leaves were fish . . .", "If frogs ate rainbows . . .") opposite a meticulously rendered watercolor. [From English edition] In her first book, artist Sarah Perry has created twenty magical watercolors that are an open invitation to the imaginations of children. Beautifully produced in full color, these fantastic images conjure up a world of limitless possibilities where anything can happen: leaves turn into green fish, cats fly about on wings, and butterflies become a little girl's coat of many colors. Children of all ages will enjoy this book, the Getty Museum's first co-publication with the Children's Library Press of Venice, California.
