WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY?
Zachary Mosby
Barnes & NobleDirector of Publishing Affairs
Karen Copper's Silly and Funny Names is a charming...
children's picture book that celebrates the... intimacy of family language...
a young child... is... labeled with a variety of whimsical names
(like)... "Clean Machine," "Pixie Wixie," and "Snuggle Bug."
The language of love between families is often nonsensical but profoundly
meaningful. John Erste's artwork is bold, kinetic, and vivid...
scenes such as... the chaotic "Sticky Wicky" are rendered with dynamic
color... and... playful... exaggeration...
even moments of discomfort--being cold, sick, or grumpy--are reframed
through affectionate language (which) helps young readers associate
emotional experiences with care and security rather than distress.
Copper and Erste have created a work that feels personal yet
universal, reminding us that love often speaks in the silliest of words.
