"Wander Out, Wonder In" Signed Picture Book SOLD OUT

$40.00

I am thrilled to announce that “Wander Out, Wonder In” has been such a success that this first edition is now out of print. I am taking this opportunity to re-release it in several new versions, including as a hardcover, softcover, digital and a collector’s edition hardcover! There is a little tweaking that needs to be done that will take a little time, but if you are signed up for my newsletter or follow me in Instagram at @emilyennulatart , you will know exactly when these new editions will be available! Shooting for summertime! I will then be able to sell via Amazon, Barnes and Noble and my favorite, independent book shops as well as get them into libraries, schoools and nature centers! I am also working on an animated version! Stay tuned and thank you to everyone who purchased a book! Your support allowed me to grow and expand the offerings of this project that is so close to my heart!

Beaches, woods, meadows, countryside, desert, streams, birds, trees...the magical, ultimate earth school is just outside! Encouraging everyone to play freely and wildly outside, this poetic, visual treat invites children (and readers) to be fully present, look closely, listen intently, and be inquisitive about the natural world around them.

Spending time mindfully connecting with the earth can strengthen our bodies and minds, expand our imaginations, nurture our senses, brighten our spirits, and deepen our relationships.

All illustrations were originally created as hand pulled collagraphs printed on Hahnemuhle Copperplate Papers using Charbonnel Etching Inks. Click here for more on collagraph printmaking. Two years in the making, these 18 illustrations were first drawn, carved and built onto a printing plate, then individually inked a la poupée and “pulled” onto fine cotton papers using a Takach Printing Press at our beloved 705 Printshop and Gallery.

Original collagraphs were reproduced using a high resolution scanner here in Philadelphia. I then added text and the final pages were beautifully printed in full color on high quality, gloss paper and bound in Maryland.

Create the perfect gift by adding a complimentary notecard set including 6 images from the book! Available in the notecard shop!

New 17” x 7” posters for each page are now available in the poster shop!

floating bugs dance

up is down

down is up

what’s buzzing in the plants?”

Emily Ennulat-Lustine is an award winning artist and printmaker who still loves nothing more than searching for crawly things under a creek’s rocks. She cherishes staring at the stars, lying in the cool, damp grass, smelling fresh snow, listening to lapping waves, and splashing around barefoot through puddles. Cartwheels in the sand are a bit tougher these days, but she loves to dream about the days when she did. Emily, her fly fishing husband, and their trail sniffing dog, Rocco, happily wander in beautiful Wyncote, Pennsylvania.
