Bridges can be high or low, long or short, straight or curvy. Some are designed to blend in, while others stand out. But each one tells a story: a reminder of our history, a testament to ingenuity and engineering, an invitation to imagine the possibilities of the future. Literally and symbolically, bridges connect usto new places, new cultures, and new people.
***STARRED REVIEW***
A soaring visual tribute. Grand and thought-provoking.
***STARRED REVIEW***
A unique book to pull in every reader, regardless of their prior knowledge of the subject. A worthy purchase.
Marc Majewski is an award-winning illustrator and picture book maker. Marc spent his childhood in the Alps, surrounded by lakes and forests, which deeply influenced his work. Nature plays a significant role in his books. It is often depicted as vast, rich, and colorful, always serving as a source of wonder or a refuge. He has written and illustrated several books, including Bridges, Parks, and Butterfly Child, which has been translated into more than ten languages. Using mostly paint or ink to create his illustrations, Marcs style is characterized by sweeping strokes and bright colors. His work has been displayed in many exhibitions around the world, including the Bologna Childrens Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition and the Society of Illustrators The Original Art, as well as in newspapers such as Internazionale, Sddeutsche Zeitung, and The Telegraph. Today, Marc lives and works in Berlin.
