This is a book. Smith L.

We are increasingly dependent on various devices and gadgets. For example, the reader sees this text on the screen of his computer or even a phone. At the same time, it is easy to scroll down the page to consider illustrations, with the movement of the fingers to increase or reduce a piece of page and even put “like”. Children do not need to explain how to launch a video on YouTube or take a photo with an iPhone. We read electronic books in the subway, listen to audiobooks in the car and are already getting used to special effects in iPads. Maybe, in general, we will all forget soon, what are paper books? Children will be specially taken to libraries, as in museums, to show them a miracle miraculous thick and thin books in hard binding or soft cover, with static illustrations that do not make any sounds. Surely there are already adults who almost forgot, what it is like to leaf through the pages, to capture the barely tangible smell of typographic paint, to feel textured elements on the cover. This picture book, a jet book with an uncomplicated, but exhaustive name, was created so that we all remember what a book is and what it is needed for. Her pages cannot be scrolled, her heroes are waving swords from words, she does not send tweets, and she also does not have a mouse. This is just a book. Witty and pretty. So that we do not forget what books they are.
