Picture storybooks: imagination and play
Prestel An Atlas of Imaginary Places
Book SynopsisNow in paperback, this dreamy, gorgeously detailed picture book leads children on a journey to impossible but wonderfully imagined places.Upside-down mountains, volcanoes that spew bubble gum, a gentle humpback whale keeping an entire city afloat. These and other wonderful worlds may not exist on Earth, but elsewhere--who knows? Each spread of this captivating book invites readers on a fantastic voyage. Ana de Lima's whimsical, softly colored illustrations are filled with surprising details that reward close examination, while Mia Cassany's soothing narrator is a nameless fellow traveler. A jungle where the animals exchange stripes, spots, and markings each time they sneeze, an archipelago made up of dessert-shaped islands, and a lighthouse so tall you can draw a new galaxy with your finger are just some of the wild places to visit. Perfect for before-bed reading, or daytime dreaming, this stunningly illustrated book will delight young readers and encourage them to conjure their own imaginary places.

Clavis Publishing What Really Happens at Night?
Book SynopsisSilver Medal Winner of the 2022 Key Colors Competition, the two-yearly national contest for illustrators of children’s books.This is a classic “I don’t want to go to bed” quirky bedtime story about curiosity, imagination, and creative solutions. It’s bedtime already? But I don’t feel like going to sleep. There’s so much to think about. I have so many questions! What happened to my other sock? Why is dad losing his hair? What does the sun do at night? And most of all: why am I so sleepy? The everyday questions of a little girl are visualized in the pictures with a lot of imagination."Delightful bedtime fare, and, ironically, a potential get-to-sleep tool." -Kirkus ReviewsTrade ReviewSilver Medal Winner of the 2022 Key Colors Competition, the two-yearly national contest for illustrators of children’s books."A book of bedtime questions big and small. “What are you thinking about?” Mom asks their child at the foot of the bed in a cozy room scattered with socks and books. The child is resisting sleep because of a racing mind—relatable content sure to hook caregivers and children alike. Each spread contains a single question in chunky black text, with the “Why,” “Where,” or “What” enlarged for emphasis. Some of the questions are simple on the surface (like “Where’s the last piece of cake?”), but a closer look at the illustrated scene suggests mischief in the form of ants devouring the cake, crumb by crumb. Other scenes cheerfully introduce magical realism, as a fish watches TV with the child, a lost clicker dropped in their bowl, to wordlessly answer the question, “Where’s the TV remote?” Attention to the quietly improbable possibilities behind each question encourages imagination, and reading can be scaled for a wide age range. Plenty of negative space balances the thoughtful art, which is based in pinks, blues, and earthy grays and browns. The human characters have light skin tones; names and gender identities are not shared. Those who have had mundane and existential queries zip through their minds while they’re trying to sleep will revel in the innocently blunt tone of this brief, gratifyingly inconclusive story of inquiry. Delightful bedtime fare, and, ironically, a potential get-to-sleep tool." -Kirkus Reviews
