Imagine a Night
by Sarah L. Thomson
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 it's tracks out of your room and roars back in, full sized, ready for you to hop on for a night-time 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.
Cezanne and the apple boy by Laurence Anholt
Paul Cezanne was on of the greatest French impressionist painters. This delightful book follows his son, also called Paul, as he travels to the mountains to spend a summer with his father. He discovers that his father paints the natural worls with a passion that few can understand. But one day they meet an art dealer who offers to sell the paintings in Paris and the rest is history. The reader gains a real insight into Cezanne the man through the eyes of a child - sometimes frightening, driven by his passion for art. And it provides a vivid introduction to Cezanne's work, with reproductions of his most famous paintings incorporated in the illustrations.

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, grey sky to create a postcard-perfect day. Imagine a day when the ordinary becomes the extraordinary... a day when anything is possible.
