What an incredible surprise today: Zig is included in the
NY Times Sunday Book Review.
I sure got MY magic umbrella today!
From "Zig and the Magic Umbrella" Zig and the Magic UmbrellaWritten and illustrated by Sylvie KantorovitzKantorovitz (“The Very Tiny Baby”) takes an umbrella — to a small child, a totally compelling and even magical object — and plays it for all it’s worth. Her Zig is an unusual, blurry-lined creature, blue all over with a rectangular nose and two mushroom-like protrusions on his head. He looks just right holding an umbrella painted in shades of red with squiggly brush strokes. It takes Zig on a journey through the sky and into a zany forest of crazily patterned blue, red and gray trees that look like lollipops, where he joins forces with a sweet yellow bird. By the end of this strangely satisfying book, Zig has used the umbrella in every conceivable way — as a bridge, a hook, a boat, a sword and a lever.32 pp. Dial Books. $16.99.
