HENRI WALKS TO PARIS

February 14 may have been important to many people for various reasons, but to me it meant the re-release of this fantastic book! Written by Leonore Klein and illustrated by the incomparable Saul Bass, it is everything I hoped it would be. It is the story of a boy who longs to visit Paris and decides to walk there from his countryside home in France. Its beautifully minimal compositions and rich, punchy colour palette are perfectly balanced—one of those books where every single spread is even better than the last. Here are a few of my favourite pages and you can see more here.
