Making Pictures with Vik Muniz
We want to prepare kids to live in a very visually challenging environment and to be able to act as producers as well as consumers.
—Vik Muniz
Abrams Books for Young Readers is thrilled to be publishing Jelly, Garbage + Toys, a visual and interactive book about Muniz’s playful approach to making art which has been captivating children and adults alike!
Jelly, Garbage + Toys, drawn from interviews with children, is an interactive first-person narrative that presents Muniz’s personal story and his art, focusing on some of his many processes and mediums.
The book emphasizes the importance of play in the creation of art while challenging children to think about how images are made and what they mean. The design—with graphic novel–inspired speech bubbles, liftable flaps, and a Turkish-map fold (all four sides open)—helps communicate Muniz’s exuberant message.
