There have been, in the past, quite a few editions of my picture books in Japanese, German, French, Italian...Because of my interest in foreign languages, these editions have always given me great pleasure. So far, No Pretty Pictures has appeared in a Japanese and German translation. The Japanese edition is especially beautifully produce with an elegant typeface and a ribbon band page marker.
