Bahij Jaroudi | Lebanon
Bahij Jaroudi’s gift for absurd humor is an alchemic force that transmutes the banal into pure entertainment in this clever picture book. On the surface, sitting down seems straightforward enough- until one begins to pull at the string of conventional wisdom, unravelling the complex set of convoluted prerequisites, obstacles and perils involved. Cautioning against all conceivable obstacles and offering a range of techniques, every angle has been considered to the benefit of the reader. Jaroudi's signature use of bold shapes and high-saturation heighten the drama and comedy of the task at hand.
After just one reading of this groundbreaking guide, 99% of Jaroudi’s short-statured sneaker-wearing test audiences have reported improved sitting success rates, making it an invaluable text for young readers.
