Childhood fantasies were top-notch. I would love to revive those imaginations and continue having them in adulthood. This is a great book that would really help me understand the emotions I have right now as an adult and reconnect with my childhood creativity. Nice review.

What a clever idea this book has introduced to storytelling! I love the concept of the illustrations being black and white. It allows the reader to color the images, thus drawing them into the story. Your review has persuaded me to add this book to my reading list. Your enthusiasm for the book is infectious. Thank you for sharing!

Congrats on BOTD! The most wonderful thing about this novel is that it brings back your long-forgotten childhood fancies. I can still picture myself coloring in those monochromatic pictures. It is an original method of drawing the reader in.

Bringing our most creative selves into the present sounds like a tempting experience. The colorless drawings are another major feature in the book, as it can serve so many purposes to activate or reactivate your creativity today.

"Field Guide to the Figments of Persuasion" by Nancy L Vallette. I was immediately drawn to the book when I saw the cover. The pictures in the book are so inviting and will make you search for the details. It's a coincidence that the artist Don Stephenson and I have something in common – carving wood, sketching, and photography. This book will take you back to your childhood. It's definitely going on my reading list.. Congrats on BOTD!!
