Additional text
"I love the simplicity and elegance of Everimal....Lucas Zanotto, a designer that makes very cool apps too, doesn't rely on complex cutouts and paper mechanisms to tell the story. Instead, he creates fun effects by cleverly mixing paper of different sizes. As you turn the half pages that divide the two-page illustration spreads, something new is revealed, animating the illustration to match the tale."
