Beautiful tiny moments, Baby and Daddy. (my personal photo please ask permission before using)
Tiny things can be beautiful, plain, sad, happy, bring joy, bring memories. Tiny things can make a huge impact - the straw that broke the camels back, a needle in a haystack. Tiny things are that once in a lifetime moment, the smell of summer, your babies first laugh - a nanosecond of wonderful!
Which is why I'm intrigued by 'The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories' by Joseph Gorden-Levitt (whom I love as a actor). I stumbled across it when looking for something completely unrelated on the book depository and after reading several reviews I'm now waiting for it to be delivered. This is what the
book depository had to say:
In December 2010, hitRECord self-published the first volume in the "Tiny
Stories" series. The collaboration received over 2,300 contributions, from which
Joe and the creative collective edited together 32 illustrated stories. This
volume in the "Tiny Stories" series will contain all new material created
through the same collaborative process on hitRECord.org as directed by
RegularJOE. "The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories" is the first book in a current
3-book partnership between hitRECord and It Books.
A collaboration of art and stories, sounds amazing.
Amazon reviewers further perked my interest by talking about the amazingly emotive effects that a few short lines and an incredible image can invoke. Once the book arrives in my hot little hand I'll let you know if it lives up to my expectations. However the concept alone, makes me love Joseph Gorden-Levitt just a little bit more!
FYI This is the associated
website. I confess I haven't perused it yet, my child is a cat napper, the fact I am able to write this post without entertaining a 10 week old at the same time is a miracle in itself!
