Subscribe now to avoid missing out on their October box! I have to say, I did miss my Stationery parcel last month because they sold out! Which is great news for Ink Drops of course. … A beautiful offering for lovers of books as art objects and a good choice for large collections.I really love the little notebook and the stickers, they are my favourites this month. Readers will enjoy scouring the illustrations to make connections between the tales. The beautiful muted paintings evoke the beauty of winter, and where the two stories meet the art changes to soft colored pencil sketches, uniting the plotlines in dreamy fantasy. ”This lovely volume consists of two stories that meet in the middle in an impressive double gatefold spread. (The book has two front covers!) A lovely gift for children and enamored adults alike." -Karin Snelson, Shelf Awareness "Originally published in Italian as Storia di Goccia e Fiocco, this lavish, oversized labor of love tells the dreamily romantic tale of Snowflake and Inkdrop from two separate points of view. …the artwork is marvelous and invites lingering looks." - Booklist "The theme of finding a friend will likely resonate with young readers. … A love story with design elements and harmonious illustrations that might spread its appeal from children to adult readers looking for an unusual wedding gift and beyond.” - Kirkus Reviews “A snowflake meets a drop of ink in midair in this dreamy, creatively designed import. Text, illustration, and design culminate harmoniously in the center of the book to elevate this unlikely love affair." -Dan Yaccarino, The New York Times This tale is punctuated with several die-cut pages of geometric snowflakes and organic ink-drop shapes. Both worlds are colorful and lovely and enhance the protagonists' desire to fling themselves into the unknown in order to find love. "Alessandro Gatti and Pierdomenico Baccalario's ‘The Story of Snowflake and Inkdrop’ may not be about humans, but the journey of these two unlikely soul mates is deeply rooted in humanity.
"Beautifully illustrated and cleverly produced, this is one for all ages." -Bernie Goedhart, Montreal Gazette
…a lovely vision of the unpredictable miracles that bring people together.” - Publishers Weekly Their meeting results in an explosion of creative energy. “A gust of wind brings the snowflake and inkdrop together in a wintry midair collision. It’s a deeply satisfying perspective that unites opposites-black and white-into one glorious vision of friendship and collaboration." -Nicole Lamy, The Boston Globe "In the center of the book the two stories meet in spectacular form: a paper gate, die-cut into the shape of a snowflake on one side and ink puddles on the other, opens to reveal a burst of folkloric doodles stretching across four pages.
