Do! cover

Do! is a set of action pictures, rendered in the traditional Warli style of art. It introduces basic verbs to the young reader through a series of brilliantly drawn pictograms, which both illustrate the verb, and tell a story. Every page or pair of pages invites the child to explore a busy world and make up her own tale.Warli art is done by people belonging to a tribal community that lives in Maharashtra in western India. The art conjures a world teeming with human figures, animals, plants, and birds. To watch a making-of video of Do!, click here

Unique and assiduously crafted book ... silk-screen printed on recycled craft paper the color of paper bags, lending an organic, rough-hewn feel ... Parents will find the book's finesse and aesthetic appropriate for coffee table display, though kids should also grasp the concept and appreciate the stylish and dynamic imagery. Publishers Weekly
