From Our Neighbors to the North
As I was in Toronto for IRA 2007, I found several beautiful books by Canadian authors or illustrators. Here is a selection of my favorites.
Enjoy!
Imagine a Day
Written by Sarah L. Thomson
Illustrated by Rob Gonsalves
As a companion to their last book, author and illustrator, Sarah L. Thomson and Rob Gonsalves have teamed up together to create Imagine a Day. Just like Imagine a Night, the text and illustrations are as beautiful and fanciful as any daydream. Each illustration shows the fluid nature of our daydreams with objects that seem to blend into other objects. For example, the green steeples of a row of cathedrals fade into the background where they look like tall trees growing on a mountainside. Imagine a Day encourages us to daydream and shows us what our daydreams may look like.
