This is a book about a button. It is also a book about noticing, wondering, and imagining. Mostly it’s a book about YOU... the button you will find... and what might happen next. IN A BUTTON opens a wondrous space of curiosity and joy as readers are invited on a quiet, beautifully illustrated journey to... notice, wonder, imagine, create, delight, and be with a single button. The book has a light narrative structure that opens with a child who makes a discovery, builds to involve readers in making their own imaginative discoveries, and returns to the quiet, creative self-sufficiency of the child. Inside this story is a uniquely nuanced concept book. The illustrations shift in perspective, balance, and scale as they move between exacting realism and impressionistic brush work to mirror the fluidity of how a wandering mind notices size, shape, color, texture, and orientation alongside and overlapping with introspection, invention, memory, and dream. The artwork holds weight and energy that feels like a button itself, and slowly, with each page turn, you begin to hold your own expansiveness like a button in your hand. Author and illustrator team, Melissa A. Butler and Nicholas Hohman, have created a book not only about a button, but also about the awe and wisdom of wonder itself. A book...· to read again and again· of play, invention, and discovery· for families, educators, librarians, artists, meditators, and makers· to help you remember that a button is enough as it is, and you are enough as you are.'A picture book to savor.' - 'Beautifully paced, with engaging illustrations.' - A book for 'all of us - young and maybe not-so young.' - 'A starting point for fostering curiosity and imagination.' - 'A beautiful reminder that there is always something more to notice.'
