Book Description
for Imagine a Day by Sarah L. Thomson and Rob Gonsalves
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
Reminiscent of M. C. Escher, Gonsalves illustrates flights of imagination where reality escapes the confines of time and gravity and meets youthful dreams. Adding words to Gonsalves’s paintings, Thomson calls readers to dive into their imaginations and go on adventures while jumping on castle like rocks in a lake, playing with a dollhouse, ice skating on the path to the moon, or surfing on foam-covered waves that flow into snowcapped moun tains. The series includes Imagine a Night (2003), Imagine a Day (2005), and Imagine a Place (2008). 2005 Governor General’s Literary Award. sc
