Maps

Beskrywing

BACKGROUND

Much more than an ordinary atlas, this book of maps is a visual feast for readers of all ages, with lavishly drawn illustrations from the incomparable Mizielinskis. It features not only borders, cities, rivers, and peaks, but also places of historical and cultural interest, eminent personalities, iconic animals and plants, cultural events, and many more fascinating facts associated with every region of our planet.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Aleksandra Mizielińska and Daniel Mizieliński (both born in 1982) are graphic designers and book authors from Poland, graduates of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. Partners in life and in art, the illustrators are associated with the revolution in the Polish children’s book market. Their bold style derives from comics and caricature, and their specialty is encyclopedic books for children – exhaustive compendia of knowledge (in architecture, geography and art) in visually attractive forms. Their books, such as H.O.U.S.E, What Will Become of You?, the Welcome to Mamoko series, Maps, and Under Earth, Under Water, were published in over thirty countries. The duo has received numerous awards and distinctions for their book and Internet designs, including the prestigious international Bologna Ragazzi Award (2010), the French Prix Sorcières (2013) and the Italian Premio Andersen (2013). Daniel teaches game design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts.
