CHARLES & RAY: DESIGNERS AT PLAY

A playful introduction to the iconic Eames design team by Geisel-winning creator James Yang.

Charles was an architect. Ray was a painter. Together they made the perfect team. By using structure, shape, and color, they knew they could transform anything. Because they saw problem-solving as an adventure, they were able to incorporate play into everything they created, and as a result, they became two of the most important figures of the mid-century modern design movement. In this imaginative and informative picture book by Geisel Award-winning author and illustrator James Yang, children will be inspired to create something new and see the world around them differently. James Yang is the author and illustrator of several acclaimed picture books, including the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature Honor A Boy Named Isamu and Geisel Award-winning Stop! Bot! His work has appeared in many publications, like Graphis, Newsweek, Forbes, Fortune, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. You might have seen some of his art in many of New York City's subway cars! He lives in New York City. You can visit him at JamesYang.com or follow him on Instagram @YangBlog or Twitter @YangMeister.
