This is a book about a button.

It is also a book about noticing, wondering, and imagining.

Mostly it's a book about YOU .

the button you will find.

and what might happen next.

IN A BUTTON opens a wondrous space of curiosity and joy as readers are invited on a quiet, beautifully illustrated journey to.

notice, wonder, imagine, create, delight, and be with a single button.

The book has a light narrative structure that opens with a child who makes a discovery, builds to involve readers in making their own imaginative discoveries, and returns to the quiet, creative self-sufficiency of the child.

Inside this story is a uniquely nuanced concept book.

The illustrations shift in perspective, balance, and scale as they move between exacting realism and impressionistic brush work to mirror the fluidity of how a wandering mind notices size, shape, color, texture, and orientation alongside and overlapping with introspection, invention, memory, and dream.

The artwork holds weight and energy that feels like a button itself, and slowly, with each page turn, you begin to hold your own expansiveness like a button in your hand.

Author and illustrator team, Melissa A.

Butler and Nicholas Hohman, have created a book not only about a button, but also about the awe and wisdom of wonder itself.

A book.

- to read again and again - of play, invention, and discovery - for families, educators, librarians, artists, meditators, and makers - to help you remember that a button is enough as it is , and you are enough as you are .

A picture book to savor.

- Beautifully paced, with engaging illustrations.

- A book for all of us - young and maybe not-so young.

- A starting point for fostering curiosity and imagination.

- A beautiful reminder that there is always something more to notice.
