{"product_id":"9781592702558","title":"Crescendo","description":"Crescendo is a visual and poetic celebration (poem by Paola Quintavalle) of the transition to motherhood, featuring gorgeous watercolor illustrations from Alessandro Sanna that follow the transformation of a mother’s shape throughout her pregnancy, artfully and gracefully delineated not only by images of a mother’s profile, but by rich, sweeping scenes from nature. The curved wingspan of a seagull in flight, the arc of a whale’s tail as she swims with her calves, the peaks of verdant, moonlit hills, among others and at last, there is an image of a mother embracing her newborn child, at once lilting and reverent―a vision of joy and rest at the culmination of an incredible inward journey. Quintavalle's poem, written as a response to Sanna’s illustrations, weaves delicately throughout the book. An ode to mothers everywhere, Crescendo is a book to share and to treasure. Also from Alessandro Sanna, published by Enchanted Lion Books: The River and Pinocchio: An Origin Story.","brand":"Alessandro Sanna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46948701176126,"sku":"9781592702558","price":425.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781592702558_40eb47dc-ccfb-4d12-9cfd-9492ed7c059f.jpg?v=1707561732","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781592702558","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
