Here is a picture book sure to delight parents, teachers and librarians every bit as much as the children they are reading it to. In Selig (a.k.a. Wordsworth) Roni Schotter has created an outsider of a character who is in love with language. The adventure he embarks on, to find his place in the world, is richly, beautifully described and complemented by Giselle Potter´s wonderfully offbeat illustrations. An original tall tale tabout a boy who literally collects words celebrates language and the beauty of words.
