Breve biografia
Frank Viva is an award-winning illustrator and designer living and working in Toronto. His first picture book Along a Long Road was a finalist for the Governor General's Award for Illustration and was named one of The New York Times' 10 Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2011. His other books for children include A Long Way Away, A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse and Young Frank, Architect. His art has appeared in many places such as The New York Times and the cover of the New Yorker and on the illustrated stationary produced by his company Whigby. Frank runs a branding and design agency in Toronto and is past president of the Advertising & Design Club of Canada. But making books is his favourite thing to do.

This book had an unexpected arc! I had thought that the whole book would be about the kid on the cover struggling to hold it, but in fact that's only part of the story, and the grown-ups - first the kid's mom, then their grandpa - are nonjudgmental, empathetic, and funny. The kid and the grandpa share the various dances they make up and name, and people in the background - who, it's revealed, are all waiting in line for the bathroom - get in on the fun too. The art is stylish, predominantly black and white with a textured, ombre yellow-orange spot color, and small amounts of other more sedate colors in the background. Very fun!… (altro)

Follows a man as he rides a bicycle along a bright yellow road. He travels quickly through a seaside town, passing businesses and people, crossing bridges. Neat use of color, the bright yellow road and red items stand out against the muted tones. Great for the kinders.
