Teaser trailer for KEEP OUR SECRETS, a color-changing kids' book by Jordan Crane. Coming in November 2011 from McSweeney's McMullens, the brand new children's imprint from McSweeney's Books in San Francisco, CA.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Two young children wander through their noisy house and quiet back yard with fresh eyes, discovering a hidden world full of strange and delightful surprises.
Featuring heat-sensitive, color-changing ink on every page!
Each drawing has hidden images beneath, visible only when the reader rubs the page to warm the disappearing black ink. Among the hidden images: a giant dog slumbering in a piano, a wishing puddle full of dimes, a raccoon that is actually a robot, and a camera secretly made of cheese.
A tactile and engaging book for readers of all ages! (Note: The color-change effect does not wear out. It's infinitely repeatable!)

Lovely. I'm a huge fan of Jordan's work going back to his minicomics over a decade ago. But I have to ask, when will McSweeney's use this disappearing ink technology in an adult book. Very adult if you know what I mean. Cause that just seems the obvious next step.

This is mindblowingly genius. Great work!

Love Jordan Crane's work and this looks super-great. Can't wait to buy this.

Really nice, though I do wonder why the dialogue in the text is the children naming what is hidden. That is kind of redundant, and doesn't seem to add anything... though maybe if you read it all?

@artistcolor I shoulda said so in the video: the ink hides a whole bunch of surprises that go unmentioned in the text. And some of the black ink rubs away to reveal hidden written messages.
