Brand New Book from Taro Miura Attracts Global Attention
August 2010
Taro Miura is internationally active as an illustrator, publishing books with Edizioni Corraini in Italy, Chronicle Books in the U.S., and Media Vaca in Spain. His latest work, The Little King, tells the story of a tiny monarch who lives in an enormous castle, all alone, every day feasting on enormous banquets. Yet at night, in his gigantic bed, the Little King feels terribly lonely. But one day, his solitude is swept away and his life changed completely; his feasts no longer seem so big, nor his castle so empty. But what has brought about this change in the Little King’s life? The answer is revealed in this beautifully composed picture book, which combines collage, colour and bold graphical design.
