Jean Jullien publishes This is Not a Book, aimed at toddlers

Date
26 February 2016

French illustrator Jean Jullien is to publish a new book for kids aged two to four years old, entitled This Is Not A Book. The volume aims to encourage its young readers to “think creatively about objects in their daily lives,” according to publisher Phaidon. The spreads use full-bleed illustrations showing objects such as a fridge, piano keys and a monster to show more unusual ways of approaching things we see every day.

“This Is Not A Book is a toy with many pages!” Says Jean Jullien. “Playfulness is something that I hold very dear as it encourages us to experiment and challenge our surroundings. This Is Not A Book is an invitation to do just that!”

This Is Not A Book is published on 28 March.
