In June Omnibus Books for Scholastic Australia published the most magical picture book by author and illustrator Elise Hurst.

Imagine A City is the most stunning and engaging picture book I have seen produced so far in 2014.
More than a book, it is a work of art – that is engaging for both children and adults alike.

Elise Hurst is a Melbourne based author and illustrator whose previous work The Night Garden, was shortlisted for the 2008 CBCA Awards.
She has illustrated many other kids books and also sells her art. But Imagine A City is not only a visually stunning artwork, but a beautiful story of simple yet effective words.

Imagine a train to take you away…
Imagine a city and drops of rain
A world without edges
where wind takes you high
where buses are fish and the fish fly the sky.

These pasted images and my words do not do it justice, it really is an artwork. I highly recommend this book, for all ages and all families. It would also make the perfect gift.
