From the creator of the celebrated Black Bird Yellow Sun comes Up Cat Down Cat, a visually stunning and elegant concept book that brings the world of opposites to life. Through the graceful movements of two feline friends—one black, one white—this board book turns simple concepts like "long" and "short" or "empty" and "full" into a work of art.
Author and illustrator Steve Light uses enchanting ink illustrations, pure colors, and simple shapes to engage the youngest of readers. As the cats move through their day—stretching, crouching, and playing with a "lost and found" mouse—children will delight in the clever use of negative and positive space. It is a book as graceful as a leaping cat and as beautiful as it is educational.
