New York City, as depicted in a finely cut leporello, for children ages 3-6. Comes in its own case, shaped and decorated to look like a matchbox.

July, 1977: a storm abruptly knocks out all power in New York, plunging the entire city into darkness. With just three matches in her pocket, a little girl sets out in search of her mommy. Three matches, three luminous moments: a giraffe calf, a saxophonist... and Mommy! The fold-out accordion format and two-tone black-and-yellow palette turn this picture book into a playful object that stretches to a frieze over six feet long! New York's cityscapes are delicately cut out.
