Perfect for children and parents, teachers and librarians, and anyone curious to learn about the way things work, On the Moveis brimming with fascinating facts and thought-provoking reflections about how people, animals, and the elements move around, both throughout history and to this day.

STARRED REVIEW! ★ "In a wide-angle, graphically inspired picture book originally published in Ukraine, Romanyshyn and Lesiv combine history with meditative insights on the theme of movement. Paired to propulsive, minimalist scenes that combine simplified images of many-wheeled, winged, and floating objects with horizontal lines, arrows, and other iconography indicating progressions in various directions at increasing speeds, the spare narrative points to technological highlights, from prehistoric foot coverings to modern spacecraft... For all its brevity, this title provides a profound exploration of the fundamental notion that everything moves."
