While I was drinking my coffee and thinking about my review that I want to write for the book "Imagine the Night" by Thomson and Gonsalves, the song that was playing from the radio was illusions, and the  band is Imagine. It was like symbolic sing for me to start to write it right now...

 This book is a lot about our ability to imagine, dive into the illustration and live their story. All I can say about the illustration is  W..O..W!!! I couldn’t take off my eyes from the pitcher because every minute I find new details that caught them.  
The sixteen illustrations that the book was written around them are gorgeous, they painting by Rob Gonsalves a Canadian artist whom his amazing second book "Imagine a Day," won the 2005 Governor General's award in the Children's Literature - Illustration category.  
“Imagine a night when you can ride your bike right up the stairs to your bed. Imagine a night when your toy train rumbles on its tracks out of your room and roars back in, full sized, ready for you to hop on for a nighttime adventure. Imagine a night when a farmer plays a lullaby on his fiddle, and his field of sunflowers begins to dip and sway to the rhythm. Imagine a night when ordinary objects magically become extraordinary...a night when it is possible to believe the impossible.”
And it’s exactly about possible that meet the impossible. There is snow along the street, that become beds with blankets  clouds that become moon and stars, water transfer into women’s shape; toy train became really one. 

   
This unique book encourages both young’s and adults to think beyond the boundaries in everyday life, and see the possibilities beyond.

“When the space between words becomes like the space between trees: wide enough to wander in..." just jump inside the book and make him alive.

It’s not the regular’s book that we read every day, but it’s for sure work of art that we must see!
