A lyrical, poignant ode to wrinkles and the stories they tell, by the world renowned photographer and public artist JR

This first-ever picture book by internationally acclaimed artist-photographer JR allows young readers to consider the lives and stories of the older people around them. Memories, experiences, and emotions are touched on in a welcoming way, creating the perfect conversation-starter between children and their elders. Evocative black-and-white photographs of faces and simple, poignant read-aloud text consider the literal and lyrical meaning of wrinkles, leaving readers of all ages with a well-justified appreciation of aging and natural beauty.

"Simple and profound, I can't think of a children's book exactly like this and I really truly love it."—Book People

"Here's a post to highlight a book it makes me happy to see on shelves, especially given the often disparaging cultural conversations around women (in particular) and aging. How powerful to expose children to aging, wrinkled faces and gently suggest the idea that wrinkles are welcome and not something to be erased, because wrinkles are the products of a long life."—Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
