Un manuale per capire segreti e meccanismi delle narrazioni visive. A partire dalla storia di Cappuccetto Rosso, Molly Bang ci guida in un'esplorazione geniale sulla composizione delle immagini e l'effetto che hanno sulle nostre emozioni, mostrandoci che ogni opera d'arte ha un linguaggio specifico che possiamo imparare a decifrare. Perché le diagonali trasmettono tensione mentre le linee curve un senso di calma? Perché lo stesso colore può richiamare emozioni opposte? Pubblicato per la prima volta negli Stati Uniti nel 1991 con enorme successo, 'Immaginalo' è un punto di riferimento imprescindibile per appassionati di albi, illustratori e critici, finora inedito in Italia. L'edizione Italiana riprende integralmente l'opera della Bang arricchendola con un importante saggio di Anna Castagnoli, autrice, illustratrice ed esperta di albi illustrati.

'It's time to learn about the role of carbon and fossil fuels on planet Earth! As much as our news is packed with articles about the importance of fossil fuels to the world economy and the global warming caused by increased carbon emissions, few people understand what is happening. Now Bang and Chisholm present a clear, concise explanation of the fossil-fuel energy cycle that began with the sun and now runs most of the manufacturing, transportation, and energy use in our world. Here is a stunning, simplebook that will educate readers about how fossil fuels are really buried sunlight--energy caught from the sun by plants that were later trapped deep underground for millions of years. Now that this plant matter has been transformed into fuel, humans have been digging it up, changing the fragile dynamic that fulfills the global needs of all living things. In this fourth book of the award-winning 'Sunlight Series,' Bang and Chisholm share yet another example of the intricate connection between the sun and life itself. Using a narrative approach and gorgeous paintings, this very important story will engage readers and provide educators with a highly effective teaching tool. A wonderful addition to any library!'--

Few children's book artists can capture the voice and feelings of a young child as well as master painter Molly Bang, the recipient of three Caldecott Honors. Bang's most popular books are in this genre, such as our own WHEN SOPHIE GETS ANGRY--REALLY, REALLY ANGRY..., which has sold more than a million copies in the United States. In this book, a child is thankful for those things that are most immediate to a youngster--including hands, feet, eyes, and ears. Simple and very engaging!
