Amazon Description
Max's dream is to live in Paris and be a poet--even though no one will buy his poems, and he is penniless. But living in New York City isn't so bad. Where else could he have friends like Bruno, who paints invisible pictures, or Marcello, who builds upside-down houses? FUll-color illustrations.One Potato Review
Old story: a poet wants to move to Paris. In Maira Kalman’s imagining, that poet is Max Stravinsky, dreamer, socialite, dog. This narrative meanders jazzily – through rooomates and poems and musicians and upside-down architects and candy importers, the words slipping sideways between them, because that is the communal spirit of this book. It works. It sings. It flies.
