A picture-book debut from English artist Faye Hanson, The Wonder is a phenomenally beautiful title, one which contains numerous wordless two-page spreads in which the boy's visions are brought to life on paper. Vivid colors, fantastic shapes and objects, are all combined in intricate ways to create little windows into an imaginary world. As much as I loved the visuals here, I also appreciated the structure of the story itself, in which the boy's natural sense of wonder is continually repressed, until finally it finds release - through art! The dedication, in which Hanson thanks her mother for believing in her daydreams, shows that there is a little bit of autobiography going on here. Whatever the case may be, wherever the inspiration arises, this is a lovely book, and a wonderful tribute to the power of the imagination, and of creative genius. Recommended to anyone who appreciates beautiful picture-books, or who is looking for children's stories about the strength of wonder in our lives.… (más)
