CHILDREN'S ILLUSTRATION

"Swallows and seagulls, eagles and owls…" 
Isabelle Simler pairs a variety of birds (reminiscent of Charley Harper prints) with detailed illustrations of their feathers.

Both a counting book and a nature book, PLUME also has a hint of danger. A black cat lurks somewhere on each spread.

PLUME is elegant and fun, and has a cute cat ending.
