56. What Do You See? A Conversation in Pictures


What Do You See? A Conversation in Pictures. Barney Saltzberg. Photographs by Jamie Lee Curtis. 2022. [March] 32 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: She took photographs of things she loved and sent them to him. He drew pictures on her photographs of things he saw and sent them back. 

What Do You See is a collection of photographs AND art. Simple text introduces each spread. The idea being that the book celebrates the artistic friendship of these two. Jamie Lee Curtis would send photographs to Barney Saltzberg. Barney would add illustrations, etc., and send the photographs back.

The narrative is not so much a traditional story as it is a book celebrating creativity, imagination, friendship, and collaboration. There are many ways of "seeing" the world around us.
