This Is New York

This Is New York by Miroslav Sasek is a classic children’s picture book that doubles as a stylish, funny tour through one of the world’s most fascinating cities. First published in 1960 and now refreshed for today, it keeps Sasek’s distinctive mid-century illustrations while updating key facts for modern readers.

Page by page, you’ll wander New York City past bright lights and big landmarks—Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Chinatown, Central Park, the Staten Island Ferry and the Statue of Liberty—alongside scenes of bustling streets, traffic and everyday city stories. The text is lively and light on its feet, perfectly matched to the artwork’s warmth and wit.

Ideal for children who love travel books, city settings and visual storytelling, and for adults chasing a hit of nostalgia or a charming gift.

Take a trip to New York in miniature—this smaller-format edition is made to be picked up, shared and treasured.
