It is a simple circle — if the adult reading the story loves the story, that adult will love reading it aloud, and because he or she is having such a positive experience, the child experiences love for the story, and by extension, love for the person reading it.

It may be a quiet, dramatic, or wildly raucous spell, but it is a spell nonetheless.

Karin Cyrén

Karin Cyrén is a Swedish based illustrator and artist who has been making beautiful work for quite sometime, but whom I’ve only recently discovered. I found her book Maraton online, an illustrated textless book which follows marathon runners through magical worlds of pink skies, never-ending waterfalls, all while being chased by tigers to the finish line. She makes a lot of incredible things including statuettes of teenagers making out! Enjoy!
