I Want to Be

Letters and words take the form of the images they describe in this zany book, guiding the reader through a fluid visual space where the words become puzzles. I Want to Be brings together joyful nonsense verse and brilliant typography to play with meaning, reflecting a child’s delight in the overturning of logic.

• A unique book that uses typography as illustration and plays with the form and meaning of the written word.
• Joyful nonsense verse in which the words illustrate themselves, taking on the shapes of their meanings - animals, objects, buildings and more.
• Brilliant typeplay that challenges the reader in every page, like an intricately designed puzzle. 
• Designed to have layers of meaning, building a narrative that is more than the sum of its parts. 
• A delightful book that readers of all ages are sure to enjoy.
