Take a Walk on the Wondrous Side

Hey everyone.  This latest picture a submission for an upcoming SCBWI retreat - the 2010 Pocono Mountain Retreat in April (I had a great time last year).  The proposed theme was "Take a Walk on the Wondrous Side."  This got me thinking about what books can really allow kids to do.  I feel like books can take kids (or adults for that matter) to places they can't possibly go to.  It lets them swim deep under the sea, or take a walk on a distant planet.  By reading, kids can 'take a walk on the wondrous side,' by traveling to places where they can dream, wonder, and ask big questions.  Let's hope it works out!
