As children, we fell in love with Miroslav Sasek’s evocative “This is . . .” books about great cities around the world. Immersed in his beautifully illustrated pages, we felt like we 
really had been to Paris . . . and to Rome . . . and to Venice. This is New York is one of the quintessential books of Muu’s collective childhood both in its distinctive visual style and unfettered love for the city. When we were first thinking about MuuPanel artwork for the Sam Collection, this was on our design board.
So imagine how very excited we were to discover the recent reissue of This is the Way to the Moon (originally published as This is Cape Canaveral) at our local independent bookstore! We snatched up a copy immediately and it made a great gift for our friend’s rocketship-obsessed two-year-old son.
We love reading Sasek’s books to our own kids and when we’re not giving them as gifts, we’ve found that the book jackets, when framed, become stylish wall art for a nursery, playroom or bedroom (if your little ones are like ours, those jackets were just going to be ripped up or eaten anyway, right?). Books and wall art all in one – This is Nice!
