Plume, by Isabelle Simler
Isabelle Simpler has concocted a magnificent new edition of her best-selling word book Plume in celebration of Éditions courtes et longues’s twentieth anniversary. Complete with four new spreads and a foil-stamped cover, the volume’s droll, stylized portraits of birds and naturalistic depictions of their feathers have been updated with a much more intricate hand.
Recommended by France’s League for Bird Protection, Plume was also selected as one of The New York Times’ Ten Best Illustrated Children’s Books of 2017.
