Courage Hats

This unashamed visual feast celebrates the best designed and illustrated picture books from around the world over the past one hundred years.
Each book is a creation of genius and inventiveness, and their design and illustration represent such diverse trends as the Russian Constructivists, Italian Futurists, and Postwar Neo-romantics. They are also mirrors of their times reflecting social concerns from a child's and family's perspectives throughout the twentieth and into the twenty-first century.
Fearlessly confronting the frontiers between a child's picture book and art, this is a collection of books that anyone with an interest in design, illustration, or simply children's literature should know about.
