TWO LITTLE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
WORD BOOK by Ludwig Wittgenstein
A book allowing children to commune with words. Die Flucht, or an escape. Montieren, to assemble and to write. Kleben, to adhere, and not forget.
TO DO: A BOOK OF ALPHABETS AND BIRTHDAYS by Gertrude Stein
An alphabet book, a naming book, a book of maximalist rhyming, anniversaries, and sound. A strange little object with some scribbles faintly fonted on the inside. An integer in green will place it in your tiny hand and you can hardly guess.
So there they were, no home, no nothing but each one of them had a birthday, and pretty soon each one knew that rather than anything better than nothing, better than nothing anything, even something, something better than even nothing, than nothing of grammar, of playing, of washing, of working, that rather that anything tender and true and all for you this is to very many always each time astonishing.
