By publisher Lemniscaat' Presentation: Art gallery 'Petit' Amsterdam, march 24.
As mentioned in the Lemniscaat brochure:
‘The Island’
“The most beautiful picture book since The Tree House
They conquered the world with their fabulous prints in The Tree House: Ronald and Marije Tolman. The golden father-daughter team that have already won the major picture book awards around the world, have once again created a realm beyond your wildest dreams.
In the wordless picture book you swim along with a bear on a journey through a unique archipelago. Whereas in The Tree House an etching serves as the background for all the pictures, each page in The Island portrays a new artwork of Ronald Tolman, and Marije subsequently works her magic on each artwork.
With every island lies a whole new world to discover, until the bear finds the ultimate island. Has he finally come across his home, or is he merely passing through? Every time you open The Island a new story unfolds.”
