The Runaway Beard
Workman Publishing, New York, New York, 1998
Description
The Runaway Beard is an illustrated storybook for children age three to seven that comes with an object that’s both irreverent and irresistible—a fake beard—and a sensibility, in design and illustration, that appeals to the nostalgia of parents. Showcasing the beard, while also protecting it, became the central design and production challenge, leading to the die-cut see-through cover with plastic pouch. The result is a cover that makes strong eye contact while also working as a visual joke, showing the character with and without the beard.
