Imagine A Day is a children's Picture book created by painter Rob Gonsalves, and writer Sarah L. Thomson. This book is the second book in companion to two other children's literature books, which also have a collection of Gonsalves paintings. Imagine A Night was the first to be published in 2003, followed by Imagine A Day published in 2005, and most recently Imagine A Place was published in 2008.[1]
Imagine A Day has received great attention due to Gonsalves marvelous abstract work. Together each page unites a unique painting of imagination, with Thomson`s poetic style of short phrases, creating a dream beyond ordinary horizons. This style promotes more engagement in the story and encourages the reader to think differently about their surroundings, and to be inspired creatively. Gonsalves strongly believed in the importance of imagination. He states that one of his favorite quotes from Einstein 'imagination is more important than knowledge'.,[2] was the key motivation of this work.
