Language Up Down Inside OutJooHee Yoon, illustrated by JooHee YoonThis interactive book explores everyday sayings through visual interpretations. Printmaking, drawing, and computer-created imagery use only Pantone red and blue to present the phrases, often with humor. Flaps, cutouts, gatefolds, and a central foldout make the book’s explanations physical as well as visual. Rather than defining sayings only with words, the book uses stylized pictures and page design to investigate the broad ideas they express.Five to NineOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
