I Am Smoke by Henry Herz

informative relaxing

4.25

An interesting approach to nonfiction, with a main narrative told by smoke itself, describing all things it is and is not. Afterward, the author adds more detail and resources. 

Mercè López has done amazing things with these illustrations -- she used actual smoke to create patterns on paper, and then developed each spread from there. All of the visuals are simultaneously detailed, and obscured by the smoke.
