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

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.

Imagine a Day is the companion book to the critically acclaimed Imagine a Night, which School Library Journal declared "a fascinating foray into the imagination." Renowned Canadian artist Rob Gonsalves once again stretches the limits of visual exploration with his breathtaking paintings and encourages parents and children alike to look beyond the limits of the everyday world and imagine.
