Pinocchio: The Origin Story

48 pp. | Enchanted Lion | August, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59270-191-9 $19.95
(4) K-3 Translated by Michael Reynolds. In this almost wordless origin story, a literal stick figure is born from the world's first tree. Journeying past many dangers, the figure grows into another tree that will supply the wood that will become Pinocchio. Sanna's gorgeous watercolor paintings of varying sizes bleed from color to color, sometimes gently, sometimes violently. A unique book in search of an audience.
