The Fragile World is a poignant, illustrated tale of the power that can be found in embracing differences and working together. Within the placid confines of a china cabinet rages a long-standing conflict between the Blues and the Reds. When the Blues decide to sneak in and paint the Reds blue, all bets are off. It’s only when they help each other pick up the pieces that they realize they are stronger together. Based on her own character-filled collection of ceramics, acclaimed artist Alexandra Mîrzac creates a moving picture book filled with passion and whimsy, reminiscent of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Mixed. Entertaining and sentimental, it is a poignant example of the power that can be found in embracing differences and working together.
