Horace`s Big Hat (Hardcover)

What did you want to be when you grew up? Colorful and fun, this charming book introduces children to a range of professions, each of which Horace tries his hand at in a special big hat—be it a red fireman`s helmet, giant baker`s hat, purple circus top hat, or an artist`s beret. Whimsical illustrations bring young readers into Horace`s world of imagination. Great for children who are learning to read.

Judy Palaferro`s stylized illustrations have their roots in both her teenage admiration for rock and roll album covers and the 1980s New York art scene. Palaferro has worked as a print and web designer and as a book buyer in a Colorado toy store, where she began developing artistically with inspiration from Arthur Ransome, Roald Dahl, and teddy bears. Upon returning to New York, Palaferro`s fascination with illustration flourished for eight years while she worked as a children`s graphic artist and textile designer in the fashion industry.Horace`s Big Hatdisplays her beautiful sense of bright and pleasing aesthetics and her love for imagination and children`s art. Her first book,Color Bears, was published by Umbrage Editions in 2010.
