Taken from My Crazy Inventions Sketchbook: 50 Awesome Drawing Activities for Young Inventors (2015). “Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.” – Pablo Picasso This is a sentiment that we try to bring to every book that we commission, design and steer through the creative process. This Fall marks our biggest ever list and, excitingly, very much our largest ever children’s list. From Marion Deuchars’ beautiful Let’s Make Some Great Art series, to Nina Chakrabarti’s Wonderful World of Fashion and Jason Ford’s superhero universe – we have always believed in the importance of producing design-led books and gifts for children. Whether it be encouraging the use of the paintbrush over the Playstation, or dreaming up and doodling fantastical cities – inspiring the next generation of artists, architects, and designers is perhaps one of the biggest challenges that we can hope to take on as a publisher; and one that ultimately frees in us the ever inventive imagination of the child. The children’s books that we are proud to publish this season represent not only our uncompromising belief that children deserve leading design, production, and content, but also that they have a huge amount to teach us grown-ups about making beautiful things. Pierre the Maze Detective: The Search for the Maze Stone (p.3) takes us on a trip through an amazing world of underground cities, hot air balloons, tree-top towns, and haunted houses. Throughout the development of this book, our youngest reviewers have steered their way through the book’s 15 magical mazes much faster than any of us could dream of doing! Packed with Andrew Rae’s amazing drawings, My Crazy Inventions Sketchbook ( p .9) gets young inventors designing and doodling their greatest creations. With facts about the craziest inventions in history, it encourages us to rediscover a sense of play and a belief that anything is possible. It is in this spirit that we try to approach everything else that we do. Each book and gift in our Fall list represents a unique set of creative challenges. From the work of the world’s most influential architects and graphic designers (Architecture and Graphic Design Visionaries , p.18), to previously unpublished and rare examples of vintage flash ( 100 Years of Tattoos, p.22), every book is an adventure and one that we are delighted and honored to be a part of. Pierre the Maze Detective The Search for the Stolen Maze Stone Hiro Kamigaki and IC4DESIGN Pierre the Maze Detective has a new case. Mr X has stolen the Maze Stone, which has the power to turn the whole of Opera City into a maze. Can you help Pierre and his friend Carmen find their way through the mazes – and stop Mr X before it’s too late? This beautifully illustrated book features 15 full-spread illustrations of intricate, magical mazes. Take a trip through a fantastic world of underground cities, hot-air balloons, tree-top towns and haunted houses. Trace your way through each maze, spot the clues and solve the extra mystery challenges along the way. Hours of puzzle fun, for all maze detectives aged 8+. A page of answers with the routes through the mazes and other solutions is included at the end of the book. IC4DESIGN are a collective of illustrators based in Hiroshima, Japan.
