RAUL COLON ILLUSTRATION: "IMAGINE" IS A HIT!

October 31, 2018

Raúl Colón’s latest wordless picture book, "IMAGINE!" has received glowing reviews. Kirkus says, "Inspired by the author’s museum experiences, the story leaps off every page thanks to the textured artwork brimming with buoyant body movement and cast in muted colors and striking patterns.”

“Colón’s vibrant scenes make it clear that visiting works of art can breathe magic into the everyday and inspire further creativity afterward.” —Publishers Weekly

“The prosaic world of the city boy we meet…is transformed into a realm of wonder not by a quirk of quantum physics but by exposure to fine art.” —The Wall Street Journal

“This fine book provides not only exposure to art, and an example of art, but also an example of a boy — a boy of color, a boy in America — with a passion for fine art. These are all things that our culture could well stand to see more of.” —The New York Times
