Free Fall: 09/01/16
Free Fall by David Wiesner is a mostly wordless picture book about the power of imagination and the adventures awaiting during dreamtime. After an introductory poem, the book unfolds as a series of beautifully rendered paintings of a boy falling deeper and deeper into his dreams, going from adventure to adventure.
The observant reader will recognize elements of the boy's room becoming the fantasy elements of his dreams. In this regard, Wiesner's paintings resemble Rob Gonsalves's used as illustrations in Sarah L. Thomson's Imagine a... a series. Four stars Comments (0) |
