‘Look up Aya and you can reach for the stars’ – an artist book by Silke and Jeppe Hein about the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a sparkling butterfly – and Hatje Cantz, together with König Gallery, invites guests to a book launch in Berlin on 28 November

More artists should really design illustrated books for children. Simply for practical reasons because they probably already have kids of their own but also, and above all, to give children food for thought and show them new visual worlds. Appearing now under Hatje Cantz’chen, or little Hatje Cantz, are illustrated books with artistic topics, children’s books by artists and graphic novels.

“As a publishing house for art books, we are experts in the areas of photography, illustration and text. So what could be better than to pass these wonderful experiences on to our children on paper in the form of good books in this digital world – made especially for their eyes, ears and hands?” says Nicola von Velsen from Hatje Cantz.

We present you a wonderful artist photo book here on GoSee for children ages four and older : ‘Look up Aya and you can reach for the stars’. This illustrated book by two artists, who are also parents, tells a touching story of development. Jeppe Hein and his wife Silke teamed up to create a very special illustrated book. It tells the story about caterpillar Aya and her metamorphosis into a sparkling butterfly.


“Jeppe Hein’s watercolor drawings are sensitively complemented by Silke Hein’s collages. This creates areas with color and texture of almost magical depth. This gem was unquestionably not merely written for children. Colorful, sophisticated images of this kind will captivate viewers of all ages and elevate their imagination,” according to the publishing house.

SILKE and JEPPE HEIN (both *1974) have four children together. This first illustrated book by the artist couple arose from their experiences as a family. At the same time, it is a compilation of Jeppe Hein’s watercolor works and Silke Hein’s collages. They live and work in Berlin.

Silke & Jeppe Hein, Hatje Cantz and Gallery König cordially invite guests to the book presentation of ‘Look up Aya and you can reach for the stars’ on Sunday, 28 November, from 12-7pm at the König Gallery with readings (at 12.30 / 2.30 / 4.30 pm), workshops (each at 1.00 / 3.00 / 4.00pm), and a book signing (4.00 to 5.00pm). Due to limited access, please RSVP or register for the workshop under : rsvp@koeniggalerie.com.
