Esta es un libro desplegable de Rebecca Goodale en una edición de artista de 5 ejemplares. Encontré referencias de Roberta en una exposición de pop books en la Bowdoin Library (Maine) a través del Bibliomano. Como podéis suponer sentí una inmediata debilidad por este Dodo uno de mis pájaros y personajes preferidos y con el que he bautizado una de mis colecciones de ilustrados.
Este es el texto explicativo que ha escrito la autora sobre el libro más arriba referenciado.
"Dodo came from a piece of persuasive writing that I am working on, a piece about extinction and memory. I was fascinated to find out that the dodo disappeared 100 years before the appearance of the dodo in Alice in Wonderland. Alice meets the dodo in a pool of her own tears and the encounter brought many readers to a belated interest in the bird, no doubt do to the power of the narrative and/or a good illustration. I have drawn dodo skeletons at NY Natural History Museum and at Harvard. I have also drawn from a 3D scientific model at Harvard. There is very little left of the dodo, and I believe that this famous extinction does link somehow to my own body of work. The image in my dodo book is roughly life size."
