A playful introduction to the designs of Charles and Ray Eames by Geisel-winning creator James Yang.

A playful introduction to the designs of Charles and Ray Eames 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. And because they saw problem-solving as an adventure, they were able to incorporate playfulness into everything they designed.

Geisel Award-winning author and illustrator James Yang has created an exuberant story about Charles and Ray Eames, two of the most iconic designers of the Mid-century modern design movement, which will inspire readers to dream up new ways to see the world around them.

Reviews for Charles & Ray: Designers at Play: A Story of Charles and Ray Eames

"""Covering an art style seldom found in books for this age group, award-winning Yang’s latest will be a welcome addition where art and design books are popular."" —Booklist ""Young readers may not have the context to recognize how beautifully Yang tips his hat to mid-century-modern design, but they will come away with a sense of how exhilarating it can be to make something new—and with whetted appetites for discovering more."" —Publishers Weekly"
