(It came out a full 11 years before Disney's \u003ci\u003eSnow White\u003c\/i\u003e!) As a little kid, Reiniger loved reading fairy tales and fell in love with puppetry. At school, she learned about\u003ci\u003e Scherenschnitte\u003c\/i\u003e, or papercuts, which helped her create her signature style of silhouettes. She grew up to make more than 40 films throughout her long career, most of which were fairy tales that used her stop-film animation technique of hand-cut silhouettes. Reiniger is now seen as the foremost pioneer of silhouette animation and the inventor of an early form of the multiplane camera. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With art inspired by Reiniger's cut-paper style and a text that uses a fairy-tale motif that mimics her movies, author-illustrator Fiona Robinson's \u003ci\u003eOut of the Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e is a sweeping tribute to one of most important figures of animation, whose influence still resonates today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Every spread offers an exceptional visual experience, regularly amplifying aspects of the narrative.\"--\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e (Starred Review)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiona Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419740857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419740855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 9.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2021 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In Style","brand":"Fiona Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053636546815,"sku":"9781419740855","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d93fc396-c17d-41e4-97c1-9a602add30f0.jpg?v=1685025403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-of-the-shadows-fiona-robinson-9781419740855","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
