Design Rationale

I See, I See is designed as a call/response conversation between readers across a book.

Friendly slab type, bright colour and reversible illustrations engage young readers, while simple, consistent illustration/ layout create a reassuring tone.

To ease readers into the unusual conversational style, the first reader is identified by a star, and reading order is reinforced by strategically placed ellipses.

The cover’s bright colours and effects invite curiosity, and, combined with its tactile qualities, make the book an object to treasure.

Illustration/design by author, with collaboration by Jay Marvel on colour tweaks and redesign of cover/endpapers.
