Many children want to know where stories come from and how a book is made. Marie-Louise Gay s new picture book provides them with some delightfully inspiring answers though a fictional encounter between an author and some very curious children together they collaborate on writing and illustrating a story. Marie-Louise Gay has scribbled, sketched, scrawled, doodled, penciled, collaged, and painted the words and pictures of a story-within-a-story that show how brilliant ideas creep up on you when you least expect it and how words sometimes float out of nowhere, asking to be written. Any Questions? presents a world inhabited by lost polar bears, soaring pterodactyls, talking trees, and spotted snails, with cameo appearances by some of the author's favorite characters a world where kids become part of the story and let their imaginations run wild, becoming inspired to create tales of their own. At the end of the book, she provides answers to many of the questions children have asked her over the years, such as Are you Stella?, How did you learn to draw?, Can your cat fly?, and How many books do you make in one day?
Como aprendiste a dibujar? De donde sacas tus ideas? Donde empieza una historia? En este libro, la autora recupera los montones de preguntas que los ninos, tan curiosos como siempre, le hacen cada vez que se cruzan en su camino. Pagina tras pagina, la autora invita al lector a integrarse a su proceso creativo y dejar que su imaginacion se eche a volar para crear una historia en conjunto. Mediante garabatos, colores, collages de palabras, pinturas y risas surgen las ideas brillantes y las palabras llegan flotando de la nada. La imaginacion no te volvera a encontrar desprevenido.
