The illustrations were unique and eye catching. This is a celebration of imagination and would be a great springboard for creating art or writing poetry.

Loved the bright colors against the dark background & the fact that it's bilingual, but it's too surreal and abstract to have wide appeal. I feel like most peoples' reactions to this book will be "Huh?" That was definitely my reaction to non-sequiturs like "I shook the coconut and I found a lake." Pretty, dreamy, and bizarre.

Crayon, ink and pencil come together in a delightful portrayal of dancer gliding her way through vivid imagination. Simple actions such as, shake, stir and swirl encourage audience participation. As rainbows appear, readers can identify individual colors by name— making this a great picture book for discussion, storytime and support of immersion language skills.
