Pinspiration: Amazing Design in Children’s Books

This weekend we visited Eagle Harbor Book Co. on Bainbridge Island. They have a nice selection of books, so if you ever find yourself in the area be sure to stop by.

While I was there I discovered an awesome book – A Long Piece of String by William Wondriska, created in 1963 and republished by my beloved Chronicle Books in 2010. Looking through this beautiful book got me thinking about all of the amazingly designed children’s books that I’ve seen lately and inspired me to create this board.
