corazon

this interesting book was in a stack of children's books that i picked up in a grab bag. they were all vintage and i'll be posting quite a few (if not all) of them. the entire book is in spanish and has pop-up diorama like illustrations. really lovely. i am most smitten with the cover though.
it's a translation of the italian children's novel heart (cuore) by edmundo d'amicis. which is known for its socialist leanings.

alice schlesinger

one of my favorite illustrators is alice schlesinger. i love her almond-eyed children and she just has a way of capturing a moment that i find really special. i love all of her work. these are the books that i own which are illustrated by her. she's also a very interesting woman who was educated in austria! she has a wonderful legacy of making children happy with her art. see more here.
