Two knights compete for their queen to rule the castle on the hill. Who will win in this duel?
The real star of this book is the author-illustrator’s use of "squish paintings"—folding paint-blotted paper to create symmetrical prints. It’s a fascinating technique that challenges both storytelling (how to build a narrative around mirrored images) and illustration (how to control the paint to achieve the desired picture). The storyline is pretty simple, but visually it’s a great way to discuss symmetry and it would work as a great model for a similar simple art project.
