About This Book
Imagine a Day is a captivating picture book that encourages children to stretch their imaginations and see the world in new, magical ways. Through a series of 'Imagine a day when...' prompts, the book pairs Sarah L. Thomson's lyrical phrases with Rob Gonsalves' unique, optical illusion-style paintings. It's a companion to the acclaimed 'Imagine a Night' and 'Imagine a Place,' celebrated for its ability to transform everyday scenes into fantastical possibilities. This book is perfect for sparking conversations about creativity, perspective, and the boundless nature of dreams, appealing to a wide age range with its visual depth and gentle narrative.
Imagine a day when your swing swings you higher than the highest treetops. Imagine a day when you can ride your bike up a path of falling leaves into the very tree they are falling from. Imagine a day when you release a handful of blue balloons into a cloudy, gray sky to create a postcard-perfect day. Imagine a day when the ordinary becomes the extraordinary...a day when anything is possible.
