In the city of the imagination anything is possible, and an outing with their mother brings every kind of possibility to life for two lucky children...

Imagine a City

Jim Howes

An anthology of short stories with beautiful illustrations throughout. On certain nights, when the hands on the big old clock in the animal hospital approach midnight, something changes. As the clock strikes out the twelve chimes, each and every animal in every cage, in every ward, is ready. When the last chime echoes through the dark hallways, all the animals sit up. The building seems to hold its breath. Then all the locks on the cages click and the doors swing open. Without a sound, the animals gather outside for the meeting of The Midnight Club. None of them knows who will be tonight's storyteller. They only know that the stories they share are important. They need to be told every night, at midnight, when the big clock in the meeting room strikes twelve. At the start and end of each story there is a ritual that signals the rights of animals to hope for and receive the basic things needed for a safe and contented life.

The Midnight Club

Two children embark on an adventure of imagination and possibility.

Imagine a city

Imagine a train to take you away... Imagine a city and drops of rain. A world without edges where the wind takes you high, where buses are fish and the fish fly the sky. In the city of imagination, anything is possible, and an outing with their mother brings every kind of possibility to life for two lucky children...

A gorgeously illustrated picture book about creativity, making connections, and finding friendship. Sure to appeal to fans of Shaun Tan or Aaron Becker. With a poetic story and lush paintings, Elise Hurst conveys how a bit of bravery, empathy, and imagination can transform our lives. Adelaide lives in a city filled with people and wonders, but she is lonely. She is a watcher, and she sees others like her: the quiet ones, those who dance and dream alone. In a chance encounter, Adelaide meets someone who just might be a kindred spirit--and is so startled and shy she runs away! But then she gathers her courage and uses all her ingenuity to make sure that they--and all the other lonely ones--meet and connect and share their dreams.

Adelaide's Secret World

In a bustling city, Adelaide lives alone and watches those who pass her window, but a chance encounter with a kindred spirit brings her out of her shell.
