As the song progressed from verse to chorus to verse, pages would turn. Each turn would reveal something new and special that illustrated the lyrics of that part of the song. When the book was finally produced, it was videotaped, using slow turns, pans and tilts to explore the pop-ups from every possible angle.
Shortly after the tour began, viewers began to ask if they could purchase the book.
In December 2016, Mark Devlin Visual Design was approached by Penguin Random House Publishing to assist in making this idea into a reality.
The pop-up book was released, on November 14, 2017 and is available now for purchase.
“JT has announced Sweet Baby James, a new “pop-up lullaby” book billed as “a beautifully illustrated and stunningly produced pop-up book” that brings to life James Taylor’s enduring 1970 classic song ‘Sweet Baby James’ for music lovers of all ages.”
