There are no Fanelli books at Montclair, but her work is so inventive it’s worth seeking out books like Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi (J FIC COLLODI) or My Map Book (J PICBK FANELLI). Sweet’s collage illustrations are also on display in her own book, Balloons over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy’s Parade (J BIO SARG) and in Firefly July: A year Year of Very Short Poems selected by Paul B. Sweet uses notebook paper, graph paper, book pages, newspaper and other found papers along with her colorful painting to bring to life stories like A River of Words: The Story of William Carlos Williams by Jen Bryant (J BIO WILLIAMS). You can also see fun papers and postcards collaged into Jeffers’s illustrations for The Day the Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home, by Drew Daywalt (J PICBK DAYWALT). The Incredible Book Eating Boy (J PICBK JEFFERS) is a great example. Jeffers peppers his work with bits of ledger books, old engravings, book pages and more. See if you can identify all the kinds of papers these artists used! Almost all these books can be found at the Montclair Library. If you need some book art inspiration, check out how these nine illustrators use books and found images in their collage work. You have two weeks left to turn in your entries for the UNBOUND Book Art & Craft Contest – it’s not too late to start something!
