Based on his own childhood, beloved and award-winning artist Raúl
Colón's wordless book is about the limitless nature of creativity and
imagination.
A boy alone in his room.
Pencils.
Sketchbook in hand.
What would it be like to go on safari?
Imagine.
Draw...
A boy named Leonardo begins to imagine and then to draw a world
afar--first a rhinoceros, and then he meets some monkeys, and he always
has a friendly elephant at his side. Soon he finds himself in the jungle
and carried away by the sheer power of his imagination, seeing the world
through his own eyes and making friends along the way.
