The Adventures of a Nose

The Adventures of a Nose

by JoelStewart (Illustrator), VivianeSchwarz (Author)

Synopsis

A magnificent, unique and beautifully illustrated picture book, about coming to terms with oneself, by a first time author and illustrator. Nose thinks Somewhere in the world must be a place just for me. A place where I can fit in, and stick out. I could be really happy there! And so he goes to look for it. He climbs up high as the mountains and dives down deep as the fish. He goes where it's clear, cold and tingly and to where it's spicy and hot. He goes everywhere...until one day he realises that wherever he goes, he fits in perfectly because he's in the middle of his own world which is all that matters. This book is a masterpiece, combining high-art illustrations with simple yet sophisticated text. The affirmative, joyous message of this book is that everything has its own place in the world, and The Adventures of A Nose can claim its position as one of the most impressive picture books around.

Author Bio
Viviane Schwarz grew up in Germany but moved to England to study Illustration at the Falmouth College of Arts in Cornwall, where she is currently completing her degree. She says of The Adventures of A Nose, I remember that as a small child I always worried: do I fit in? Am I part of something? Am I special enough? And if I weren't here, would it matter at all? The Nose wonders the same, and discovers what I discovered: no matter what you do, you are always in the middle of your own world, so you don't have to worry. This is Viviane's first picture book. Joel Stewart grew up in Sheffield and has just been awarded a First Class BA Hons degree in Illustration at Falmouth College of Arts. Since graduating he has been approached to work on two other picture books; Underwater Farmyard and Sea Dream. Joel lives in Falmouth, Cornwall with Viviane Schwarz and several goldfish.
