About PARKS illustrated by Marc Majewski:

French illustrator Marc Majewski explores how public green spaces shape our connection to the natural world in his newest picture book, Parks, published by Abrams Books.

Known for publishing visually striking nonfiction and children’s titles, from art books to literary debuts, Abrams continues its commitment to intelligent design and accessible storytelling with this global visual guide.

Marc Majewski, currently based in Berlin, draws inspiration from his upbringing in the FrenchAlps. His work focuses on human interaction with nature, and in Parks, his sweeping, hand-painted illustrations frame a curated tour of outdoor spaces that inspire wonder, reflection, and community engagement.

Unlike other travel guides, Parks does more than highlight scenic views. It shows how recreation, conservation, and urban planning intersect, creating public places where both people and wildlife coexist. Each featured location offers a different lens: from a quiet historic square in FRANCE to massive wilderness preserves in GREENLAND, these environments serve as both sanctuaries and social spaces.

Whether you're planning a family trip, teaching about sustainability, or simply love exploring open-air destinations, Parks is an illustrated reference that goes far beyond sightseeing. It opens the door to global exploration, blending travel, design, nature, and culture in one beautifully painted volume without boarding a plane.
