The third picture book by acclaimed paper-cut artist Elly MacKay, about a little girl who tries to bring the butterflies back to Butterfly Park.
Elly MacKay, bekend als Theater Clouds, is een kunstenares die scènes creëert met papier, licht en fotografie. Haar techniek, omschreven als theater van papier, lightbox-illustraties of verlicht papierambacht, herneemt de gelaagde papierkunst die doet denken aan kinder Diorama's en tunnelboeken, verrijkt met verlichting en fotografie. MacKay gebruikt dit medium om fotografische afdrukken en illustraties voor kinderboeken te maken, geïnspireerd door thema's als kindertijd, vergankelijkheid en natuur. Ze heeft ook een fascinatie voor Victoriaanse curiosa en optische illusies, wat blijkt uit haar werk dat vaak speelt met visuele trucjes en complexe papieren werelden.
