Come away to a wonderful, mysterious location, accessible only in the pages of My Island by @dp_stephanie and @sengsounratanavanh. The story is told from the point of view of a young girl who spends her days without any human companions. Alone on her nameless, magical island, she watches birds, arranges flowers, and eats dainty meals with animal friends. How much of this gentle paradise exists in the real world and how much of it springs from the girl’s imagination is left for the reader to decide. Demasse-Pottier’s spare, inviting text and Ratanavanh’s delicately ornamented mixed-media art (a combination of watercolors, colored pencils, and red thread) make for a soothing, contemplative combination. #island #animal #animals #imagine #imagination #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbook #beautifulbooks #beautifulbookcover #beautifulbookcovers #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
