You may know the text of a Peter Spier book before you open the cover. Or, in some cases, there is no text. And no need for any. Spier’s illustrations can tell a story by themselves. When they are accompanied by words, his drawings illuminate the text, giving it context, breadth, engaging multiple senses and breathing new life into the words as you read (or as they are read to you.) The book I purchased was beautiful and will be a Christmas gift for my neighbor. In fact it is so beautiful, I’m considering looking for another one to give to my grandson. I would love to own every book Peter Spier has illustrated.
