Beschreibung des Verlags
A picture book entry in the beloved celebration of everyday humanity, Humans of New York.
In this heartwarming photographic picture book, photographer Brandon Stanton's lens is trained on the littlest humans of New York – the ones who get back up when they fall, who have an impeccable taste in fashion, and who love with all their hearts.
Humans of New York began when photographer Brandon Stanton set out on an ambitious project – to single-handedly create a photographic census of New York City. Armed with his camera, he began crisscrossing the city, covering thousands of miles on foot, all in his attempt to capture ordinary New Yorkers in the most extraordinary of moments. Gaining millions of followers online, the project expanded into a series of beautiful, hardcover books, including Humans of New York, Humans of New York: Stories, and Humans.
With spare text and a mix of exclusive photos and fan favourites, Little Humans is the perfect book to share with your own children as they begin to discover the world for themselves.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stanton, author of the bestselling Humans of New York and the popular website of the same name, turns his lens on children in this compilation of new photographs and those from his site. Shot in urban settings throughout the year, the portraits represent a rich range of ethnic backgrounds, eclectic outfits, and spontaneous poses. Stanton laces the images together with simple free verse alluding to children's attributes, accomplishments, and pastimes: "Little humans can do BIG things, if they stand up tall and hold on tight." In one scene, a stylish mother and daughter wearing pink straw hats smile at the camera; elsewhere, a stony-faced toddler and his dog sport superhero costumes ("Little humans can be tough... super HERO tough"). The airy verse replaces Stanton's off-the-cuff comments and quotes from his subjects that typically accompany his work, but that doesn't diminish the images' impact or their insight into the personalities of his young subjects. This vivid collection underscores both the diversity and commonality among children, and may well inspire readers to imagine the lives of and stories behind each child. Ages 4 8.
