SPRING 2020 “Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.” GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Nothing fosters children’s imaginations better than a book. They help us understand the world, pique our natural curiosity, impart knowledge, and hearten us to be empathetic and brave. In Great Numbers charts the history and power of numbers and mathematics. Beautifully illustrated, it is a celebration of the impor- tance of numbers in our daily lives. Dive deep into The World of Whales and learn about these amazing creatures, their behavior and environment, and how we can help protect them for future genera- tions. Let’s Play Outdoors! for young adventurers is packed full of activities to discover the nature all around you while Beyond the Horizon takes you on a poetic journey of discovering yourself. Little Gestalten celebrates today’s most innovative authors and illustrators by bringing their work to life through pop-ups, charming picture books, classic fairytales with a contemporary twist, and original works of non-fiction. Thoughtfully designed, diligently printed and bound, our books are pushing the boundaries of tradi- tional storytelling. We hope you enjoy discovering our new titles.
