If one could take the serendipitous feeling of sitting on a beloved grandparent's lap as they shared words of love and encouragement, and confine it within the pages of a book, Rosemary and Bentley Holmes-Gull have done so with Imagine That…A Picture Book of Possibilities. The illustrations will delight their readers and so completely capture the gentle and poetic words of the text that it comes as no surprise that the author and illustrator are a mother and son duo. No child can be loved and encouraged in excess, and this book is sure to build self-confidence and determination from a young age. Imagine That will become one of those books that earn its tattered edges as children reach for it over and over again.

In this rare literary collaboration between a mother and son, Rosemary and Bentley magically weave deceptively simple text with beautiful artwork. Their message, that we all have the potential to accomplish great and wondrous things, is one that children will not only want to have read to them again and again, but will also inspire the lives of young and old alike.

Drawing on scientific facts from the natural world, Rosemary's engaging text leads young readers to understand that, like many insects, they are capable of surmounting huge obstacles to achieve success. This beautifully illustrated book reminds young readers that they already have what it takes to make their way in this world of ours.
