The Artifacts is a brand new, original picture book created especially for iPad/iPod Touch and iPhone.

Designed for children aged 4 and up, this is an interactive picturebook about a boy called Asaf who loves to collect.

It is inspired in equal parts by: childhood collections of bizarre and unlikely things, memories of moving house, the minimalist movement, and the joy of creating imaginative worlds of one’s own.
