Jemmy Button by Valerio Vidali
Inspired by the life of Jemmy Button - a native of Tierra del Fuego who was brought to England in the mid-1800s to be 'educated' and 'civilised' by Captain Robert FitzRoy - this book illustrates Jemmy's bizarre encounters and his return back home. Collaborating across continents, without a common language, Valerio's precision and Jennifer's primitive style have resulted in a story unlike any other.Alix Barzelay has an MFA from Sarah Lawrence and teaches children creative
writing. This is her first children's book.
Jennifer Uman is a self-taught painter and illustrator. Her works have been in the New
York Times and in publications throughout the world. This is her first book.
Valerio Vidali is an Italian illustrator. His work has received notable recognition in
competitions and exhibitions around the world.
