By Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler

 

Poetic and thought-provoking, Girls Standing on Lawns reflects the creators' shared fascination with anonymous snapshots and the rich lives, memories, and stories they evoke. It is a meditation on childhood, home, family, and the act of seeing—girls, women, friends, families, and even pets from days gone by grace the pages, enticing readers to imagine these people, their lives, and where they have gone. This is the first title in a series of collaborations between the artist Maira Kalman, the writer Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket), and The Museum of Modern Art. 64 pp.; 52 illus.
