Pauline Barzilaï

Translated by Lindsay Turner

Welcome to a world where flowers dance, shoes fall in love, and horses sing. If you look and listen close enough, this world might be ours.

Have you ever heard a frog whistle? An ant fart? A cake cry? They do it all the time, but you can only hear it if you stay very still and listen very closely. Have You Ever Heard a Horse Sing? is Barzilaï's humorous spin on a classic animal sounds book, only this time the pages themselves clang, pop, and buzz with absurd and ecstatic sound. In thickly applied brushstrokes, Barzilaï’s vivid artwork reflects the imaginative possibilities within our ordinary world. If a book makes you smile while reading it, perhaps the book itself is laughing too.
