Riassunto:

Buildings protect us, help us and inspire us, but do you ever wonder what they would say if they could talk? Do they have feelings? Are they happy to see us? Does it hurt when we stomp? This imaginative children's book contemplates what would happen if the buildings that surround us suddenly piped up to tell us what's on their minds. 

Written by Nikki Clinton and illustrated by 14 real-life architects and designers, If Buildings Could Talk invites kids of all ages to ponder the conversations they might have with the architecture in their lives. 

Illustrators: Elaine O'Brien, Cory Hester, Anh Tran, Darin Eng, Devin Wiesler, Emma Wallace, Charles Todd, Thomas Carlson-Reddig, Danielle Baker, John Komisin, Ron Boozer, Jim Thompson & Aranya Mom

At Little (littleonline.com) we believe that architecture has the power to transform lives and we're excited to inspire the next generation of designers, engineers and planners to fall in love with the built environment. All proceeds from book sales will go directly to local architecture and design mentoring programs aimed at fostering more diversity in the AEC industry.

Informazioni sugli autori: Nikki Clinton is a designer, maker and writer living in San Clemente, CA. She has a degree in Visual Communications and has spent 15 years working in the architecture industry. A mother of two, and former teacher, she wanted to write a book prompting kids to consider their emotional connection to the buildings in their world... and, just maybe, pique their interest in the design industry.

Elaine is a designer whose life journey took her around the world before landing in the Carolinas. This adventure not only added colorful stamps in her passport but also embedded colorful stamps in her memories. Drawing from her life experiences, Elaine fuels curiosity in others through her imaginative imagery and graphics.

Cory Hester is a graphic designer who believes in working hard, having fun, and helping people elevate themselves and their ideas. Growing up around blue-collar work in Belmont, NC, he is committed to function and developing creative solutions that reveal their story and purpose.
