Once upon a time: press here

Some time ago, I was required to attend a training program for work in Madrid. The Madrid Book Fair held every year in Retiro Park took place at the same time; I was so exciting to have the opportunity to go there! This is one of the most traditional cultural events in the capital. The Booksellers' Association that organized the event represented over 200 book stores from all over the Madrid region. There were the latest publications along with a selection of recommended titles for all kinds of readers and special discounts at the fair. It was also a great chance to get well-known writers to sign their work.

As you can imagine I walked between the stands by hours and I bought a bunch of great books and there was a very special book for my children: PRESS HERE By Hervé Tullet. This is an extremely creative and interactive picture book.

Starting with a yellow dot and some basic instructions, Little I. presses the dots, shakes the pages, and tilts the book, giving him the illusion that he has control over what happens.

The adventure occurs on the flat surface of the simple, printed page. This picture book is about the power of imagination!

PRESS HERE By Hervé Tullet has sold 700 thousand copies so far, and remains on the New York Times children’s bestseller list after 86 weeks

Hervé Tullet is a very popular children's author in France, earning the title of "The Prince of Preschool. Congrats and thanks a lot, Mr. Tullet!
