lessons

Your first lessons in life often include learning how to tie your shoes or learning the ABC's. Lasting lessons can often be find in the form of books. What greater way to learn about sacrifice than from The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein? What teaches you more about the importance of family than Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak?

Penguin books is taking those lessons, both old + new, + is introducing their new Drop Caps series of books with jacket illustrations done by the amazingly talented Jessica Hische (maybe you saw her wedding announcement or her work with Moonrise Kingdom?)
 All Penguin series seem to do this, but I swear, I really love this project. Design, classic novels, + a little bit of personalization is a great combination in my opinion. How great would it be to spell out someone's name with all of these books? So far, just these six are available + they sell for $22.00 in hardcover.
