This enchanting volume by an artist couple who are also parents tells a very touching rite of passage story. Jeppe Hein and his wife Silke have teamed up to create a very special kind of picture book. It tells of the multifaceted experiences of the caterpillar Aya and its metamorphosis into a no less multifaceted radiant butterfly.

The illustrations bring the story to life: Jeppe Hein's watercolour drawings are congenially and sensitively enhanced by Silke Hein's nature photography. Areas of colour and texture of almost magical depth are created. There is no question that this attractive work is not only just for kids. Images of such sophisticated colourfulness will captivate viewers of all ages and lend wings to their own flights of fancy.

Look Up Aya, And You Can Reach For The Stars is a book that bridges art and storytelling, offering a visual and narrative journey that resonates with readers both young and old.
