Believe: A Pop-Up Book of Possibilities
by Robert Sabuda (Author) Robert Sabuda (Illustrator)
Consummate pop-up master Robert Sabuda offers an elegant ode to possibility that will inspire anyone setting off on a new life chapter. All of life's possibilities are just a page turn away in this beautiful pop-up book from renowned paper artist Robert Sabuda.
Throughout, phrases and images evoking potential (an acorn, an egg, a paper airplane) are answered by a glorious 3-D image on the following spread (a towering tree, a flock of birds, a rocket soaring upward). An ideal gift for graduates from kindergarten to college and beyond, Believe is the perfect way to celebrate life's passages and look forward to new horizons.

It’s easy to imagine this giving Oh, the Places You’ll Go a run for its money as a perennial graduation gift. An elevated outing, perhaps a touch vague but, as ever, magnificently designed. (Pop-up picture book. 7-9, adult).

Sabuda's small pop-up book offers light affirmations for the future: "When I grow up/ I will stand tall./ When I strive for my goals/ I will savor the outcome./ When I share my dreams/ we will fly together." Gracefully engineered pop-up forms representing potential, growth, and progress accompany the uplifting lines. With a turn of the page, a printed bee becomes a garden of sunflowers; a paper airplane evolves into a 3-D rocket ship ("From a humble beginning/ to a life among the stars"). Sabuda provides striking contrast between the delicate white paper of the pop-ups and the eye-catching colors of the spreads, elevating the sophistication of this congratulatory volume. Ages 5-8.
