JUNIOR DESIGN AWARDS 2020 GOLD WINNER: Best Baby Book 0-3 yrs
WHO: Numbers (published by oioiooi)
WHAT: A fun number picture book from innovative design brand oioiooi from Seoul, Republic of Korea. Beautifully presented and printed using eco-friendly soybean oil ink.
WHY: The judges loved this design focused numbers book that they all agreed toddlers would love. Each of the pages contains a character that holds the clue for the numbers and interactive clear films that you flip over to reveal the same object in a different setting (so when you flip the film with the apple on it, the apple is on the table then on the tree, two fingers can be rabbit’s ears, three stairs on the ladder turn into butterfly stripes!). Kids will delight in this and parents will be sharing on instagram #shelfselfies.
