The Review...
In this beautifully crafted how-to book, Morstad’s illustrations give vibrant expressions of childlike thought. The text alone is simple, with no capital lettering and limited punctuation: “how to go fast” or “how to watch where you’re going.” But the illustrations allow the text to take on completely new meanings. A page that reads “how to wash your face” shows a little girl standing face up in the rain. The illustrations seem simple, leaving vast amounts of negative space, yet the artwork is lovely, creative, and humorous. How To is recommended for ages 2-6, or anyone who wants to reconnect with their inner child.
The Opinion…
Loved it. Loved. It.
I may end up buying this as a coffee table book. Because I want everyone I know to take a moment, relax, and flip through.
