Silvia Borando works as a visual designer for Studio Tiwi, where she loves to explore her great passion for color. She also heads up minibombo, a children’s publishing house based in Italy that brings together a love of stories, illustration, and interactivity to create innovative graphic picture books. She lives in Italy.
An engaging treat for keen-eyed readers, Borando's latest wordless
concept book is a visual delight...Blending the concepts of color
and camouflage with subtle humor, Borando's continued mastery of
the deceptively simple is apparent even in her cover art, as two
hidden animals stand ready to draw readers into the game again and
again. Artistic simplicity and visual play spark unfettered fun in
this charming little book.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
This work is perfect for teaching young children about how they
perceive things in the world. It will help them understand that
certain things will appear to be hidden, depending on their
respective surroundings. The bold and simple illustrations will
also encourage young viewers to focus their attention on what they
see and don’t see. An excellent concept book, best for one-on-one
and small group sharing.
—School Library Journal
Implicit lessons about contrast, camouflage, foreground, and
background—and paying attention—add value to a book that would be a
joy to read for the colors and witty, chunky animal shapes alone.
One in a series of beautifully produced books illustrating visual
concepts, this is a great addition to any preschool classroom and
will be lots of fun at storytimes.
