The Overlook Book

Rezensionen / Stimmen

The Overlook Book: Change Your Perspective, Change the World Megan Fullmer Perry A simple change in perspective can dramatically alter your entire outlook. This picture book zooms in and out of various viewpoints, revealing new angles for each scene that it depicts. For instance, in one set of illustrations, a girl lounges alone beside a brick wall, but an aerial view shows a friend sitting on the opposite side. An apparently solo rower on choppy seas is actually in a multi-person rowboat, and help is on the way for a person seemingly stranded on a deserted island. These perspective shifts offer several meaningful lessons: no one is ever truly alone, a broader view makes a major difference, and there is usually more to a situation than it initially seems. The book's playful illustrations were created with a blend of hand and machine cut paper collages, and include plenty of diverse representation. With its emphasis on inclusion and empathy, alongside its clever use of perspective, this book will be an excellent addition to any collection. * Children's Literature * The Overlook Book: Change Your Perspective, Change the World Megan Fullmer Perry A simple change in perspective can dramatically alter your entire outlook.
