The Book of PerceptionLUX - Michal Štěpánek

You are going for a walk in the forest. What is so special about that, you ask? The Book of Perception will show you how wonderful perceptions we get through our senses. So, we will enjoy the walk five times, each time in a very different way. In times of ubiquitous digital media, this book aims to help children to focus better on individual sensory perceptions and to investigate things thoroughly and in depth.

Readers can not only explore the sensory world in words, however, but with their fingers too. That’s true not only of the linen cover but also of the chapter on touch. Here, a special varnish was used in the printing that invites the reader to feel the illustrations. Even smell can be experienced in this book. In the relevant chapter, rubbing one of the illustrations brings forth a forest scent. Three different types of paper and spot colours complement the different sensory impressions, making the book a special tactile and visual experience – and not just for children.
