Inside Outside

Anne-Margot Ramstein, Matthias Arégui

This wordless picture book pairs two views of the same scene on every spread. A duckling curled within an egg appears alongside a wider marsh view; an explorer inside a cave is paired with the landscape beyond it. Other scenes include birds in a cage, a castle after an escape, a boat on rough water, and a submarine in the depths. The shifting perspectives invite attention to what is hidden, revealed, logical, and unexpected.
