My Island

A young girl shows us around her island, all of its whimsical intricacies built by the workings of her imagination.  It’s a place without a name where the flowers are always blooming and where thousands of birds roam.  It’s magical.  You’re welcome, too, but only if you’re the hopeful, wish-making, dreaming kind.  A charming ode to children and their endless creativity and inventiveness.

My Island was written by Stéphanie Demasse-Pottier, illustrated by Seng Soun Ratanavanh nd published by Princeton Architectural Press.  Out on April 2.
