Journey was a gorgeous, stunning book! Magnificent pieces of art that make you want to search every bit of the page to not miss a thing. There is no text, the story is in the illustrations. A little girl builds her own dreams and fantasies from a single red boat. Ah! It was beautiful...
Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson is a simpler version of a child's imagination.
Maurice Sendak's classic Where the Wild Things Are, which is not one of my favorites but does show how imagination uses things to grow.
It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll as each thing leads to a completely different and equally fantastic place, but still connected somehow.
I love Harold! Anything that can convey such a great story with no words is exceptional.
