See the City: The Journey of Manhattan Unfurled

Matteo Pericoli began his spectacular drawing of Manhattan in 1998. Manhattan Unfurled was published in October 2001 and was quickly embraced by New York City and the entire country. In this new version for young people, the drawing is bound into two sections (East Side and West Side) in an unusual and eye-catching new format. Pericoli adds simple text, and hand-drawn labels, telling young readers how he came to create his drawing (the journey includes boat rides, a motorcycle, and hundreds of photographs). He also enourages kids to seeâ€”and drawâ€”a place in a whole new way. â€œDraw everything,â€ he tells them, â€œand youâ€™ll know a place as you never did before.â€ A wonderful tribute to Manhattan, to cities, and to thinking like an artist.

Praise for Matteo Pericoliâ€™s Manhattan Unfurled (Random House adult trade):

â€œPericoli has fixed a moment of the ever-shifting skyline, and done so with delicacy and authority.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review

â€œPericoliâ€™s drawing is at once monumental and gentle . . . together the buildings seem almost to be swaying softly in a chorus line along the Hudson.â€â€”The New Yorker

â€œSeen through [Pericoliâ€™s] eyes, Manhattan takes on the quality of Maurice Sendakâ€™s Where the Wild Things Are.â€â€”Vogue
