Illustrated by
Maira Kalman.
Another collaboration uniting photographs from MoMA with Kalman's paintings and Handler's text (Girls Standing on Lawns) is centered on--you guessed it--weather. But Handler's text also delves deeper, each tiny prose poem interpreting theme-fitting images on an emotional human level: "It's like summer. It's like doing nothing. Delicious." Aimed at all ages, the odd but fascinating volume's takeaways will vary by reader. Index of photos.
