Description

I designed In My World for young children to celebrate the simple things in their world. The book begins with a die cut of a child’s hand on the cover. Each interior page has a die-cut shape of an object, such as a butterfly, leaf or bird. Each object is completed with fragments of other pages, like puzzle pieces, which show through each aperture.
