A Celebration of Christmas around the world!
Debbie Powell graduated in 2007 with a degree in Illustration from The Arts Institute Bournemouth and joined The Artworks. Silkscreen printing, collage and painting all play a part in creating Debbie's imagery. Some of Debbie's clients to date have included Marks and Spencer, Galison stationery, Carluccio's, Penguin, Tesco, Orion Publishing, Jamie Oliver, Walker Books and The Independent.
Christmas is all about traditions and Debbie Powell's Walk This
World at Christmas Time has undertaken the massive job of showing
readers how different people all over the world celebrate it, from
typical culinary treats, to special songs to sing, clothes to wear
and presents to give. Powell's unnamed narrator wanders the planet
from West to East, stopping off long enough to exchange gifts with
skaters on the Rockefeller Ice Rink in New York, to light a
campfire in the hills of South Africa, meet Italy's Befana, break
the oplatek wafer in Poland or decorate a banana tree in Goa. The
illustrations (served by numerous flaps to lift) are busy, warm and
fascinating. A beaufiful production celebrating diversity in words
and images, and one where you might find new traditions to
adopt!
