The purpose of this book is to encourage observation of the natural world around us, as well as the world of daily life, the world of the past, and the world of the imagination. Blexbolex does this by portraying the cycle of the seasons and the passage of time from different focal points, encouraging the reader to think about how people inhabit time, get accustomed to it, lose track of it and remember it. This book is beautiful and graphically amazing as well as educational and imaginative and artistic. Consequently, the audience for this title is large: children, educators, graphic designers, artists, nature centers, museums and book lovers in general. The Daily Heller, which is one of the blogs connected to Print Magazine ran a piece on another amazing book by Blexbolex. Blexbolex is indeed a rising star.
