Parents and Teachers Guide

"Black Line" is a wonderfully creative and artistic book that combines art, storytelling, and imagination. It fosters creative thinking and imagination, empowering children to develop an independent way of thinking and analyzing, distinguishing them from others. This is achieved through the black line found on each page in various forms.

Upon opening the book, the reader sees a black line, each time in a different shape (straight, wavy, thin, thick...), opposite a fold that hides what that line could be, leaving it up to the reader to imagine the possibilities and perceptions of this line before opening the fold. Its possibilities may be similar to others or different. Then, upon opening the fold, the reader sees an example of what this line could be through a drawing and a picture with simple text with a rhythm and rhyme that attracts children. The black line could be a rope that children play with, a ballet dancer's ribbon, a railway, a rope that secures a tent... It could be many things from our lives and environment that the child can remember and imagine.
