The illustrations in this volume show each stage of a single painting that grows more complex with every page. As readers follow the “birth” of this work, they’re also invited to witness the birth of another wonder: the story’s phlegmatic hero, Babak, has a mare that is about to deliver a foal. Throughout the story, the villagers seek the ever-dreaming Babak but they’ll never find him – because he’s painting the picture!
