Imagine a Day invites children to stretch their imaginations through pictures. Though the book doesn’t have a storyline, each page spread tells a story in and of itself. The paintings are what make the book stand out, but the few words on each page pack a powerful punch. Every page spread boasts one beautifully rich painting that is also a spectacular, colorful optical illusion. Looking at the pages, I wished I could just step inside! The final picture in the book alludes to the excitement of reading.
Imagine a day...
… when a book swings open
on silent hinges,
and a place you’ve never seen before
welcomes you home.
Imagine… today.
Sarah L. Thomson and Rob Gonsalves, the illustrator for this book, have teamed up previously to put together "Imagine a Place" and "Imagine a Night." I haven't explored those books yet, but I definitely will after reading "Imagine a Day."
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
