| Window |
| Illustrated with elaborate and gorgeous collage constructions, Window is a wordless picture book that speaks volumes. It begins with a mother and baby looking through a window at a view of wilderness and sky as far as the eye can see. With each page, the boy grows and the scene changes, from forest, to a single house, to a village and then to a city. |

| Belonging |
| As in the author's previous picture book, Window, this book is observed through the window of a house in a typical urban neighbourhood, each picture showing a year's developments. This is Window in reverse, though, with the land being reclaimed from built-up concrete to a gradual greening, shown through the artist's characteristic collage illustrations. |

| Who is the World for? |
| "Who is the world for?" asks the baby bear in her winter cave and the lion cub on his grassy plain and the baby hippo in the slow brown river. All over the world - in deep roomy seas, on high, green trees, in ice and snow - baby animals ask their parents this question. In a house in the city, the boy asks his father too - receiving the same emphatic proclamation in reply, "The world is for you!" |
