It’s not what you look at, it’s what you see! Take a journey through New York City as it might be seen by a child through a camera lens.

Shapes, colors, patterns, and people are everywhere, and things look different depending on how you look at them — and who is doing the looking. In this playful ode to photography and point of view, a poetic story posits how one young girl might capture moments of insight, community, and art in her beloved hometown, New York City.

With the popularity of camera phones, photo-journaling, and photo-posting sites, this fictional exploration of photography as one young girl’s form of self-expression is guaranteed to appeal to budding photographers.

Book features :
  • A strikingly beautiful introduction to the art of photography as a form of self-expression.
  • With the ubiquitous availability of phone cameras and the popularity of selfies, photo-journaling, and photo-posting sites, this is a timely and inspiring creative photo-essay with guaranteed appeal for all budding photographers.
  • Acclaimed author Neela Vaswani’s first text for younger readers.

Industry Reviews
The city's sweeping landscapes juxtaposed with its small, pulsating minutiae pick up an easy momentum as the poetic text moves rhythmically from page to page...Vaswani's debut picture book is an elegant and playful look at perspective, photography, and a familiar (to many) cityscape. A captivating journey.
