THANK YOU! by Charo Pita, Illustrated by Anuska Allepuz


Illustrator Anuska Allepuz has an eye for graphic design. Many of the spreads in Thank You! have a color theme. Some are cool blue or purple, and the last spread is yellow for contrast. 

The landscapes feel expansive, while the expressive faces of a grandma and her granddaughter feel intimate. 

The granddaughter asks the big questions.  "Why does the sea stop at the sand,” “...what holds the moon up so it doesn’t fall out of the sky?” Grandma can’t explain why the world works the way it does. But she knows “what we have to do with all of these mysteries.”

Thank You! is a simple and profound story about appreciating your world and the people in it.
