The best book which includes every technique that has been
used in previous Suzy Lee’s books. ‘Four seasons’ haveⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ
movements for each season, and she followed the format as it is.
So the picture book is divided into three movements as well, and
expresses the story of the music by using various materials and
techniques, Collage & Crayon, Lines & Dots, Thin coloring & Acrylic
Paint so that each movement changes its scenes and looks.
And it has reinterpretation of the sonnet written by Vivaldi at
the beginning of each chapter as if it’s a child’s tone or as if it’
s written in a child’s diary but after a short paragraph, the story
unfolds only by the power of illustrations until the end.
Furthermore, the book begins with a stage and the performers
enter the scene and it starts. And the curtain opens in the middle
and the children start to play.
