Magritte's Marvelous Hat by D B Johnson

Magritte's Marvelous Hat by D B Johnson

"Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see." --Rene Magritte

D.B. Johnson writes and illustrates the surreal story of famous surrealist painter Rene Magritte and his very mysterious (and mischievous!) hat. While the art reflects some of Magritte's own work, the text sets readers on a fun and accessible path to learning about the simpler concepts behind Mr. Magritte's work.

This delightful picture book captures the playfulness and the wonderment of surrealist art. Four transparent pages add yet another level of surrealism to the illustrations as pictures can be altered with the turn of a page.

For more than two decades, D.B.Johnson has worked as a freelance illustrator, creating editorial cartoons, comic strips, and conceptual graphics for magazines and newspapers across the country. Henry Hikes to Fitchburg, Johnson's debut picture book, was a New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller, as well as an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists. The Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Picture Books and the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award were among the honors bestowed upon Henry Hikes to Fitchburg. Johnson resides in the state of New Hampshire. http://www.henryhikes.com
