The Invisible Story
Written by Jaime Gamboa
Illustrated by Wen Hsu Chen
Translated from the Spanish by Daniel Hahn
Published by Lantana Press
Mom's Review
The Invisible Story is a beautifully imaginative tale about a story book in Braille - the book has never been read and is fearful of being plucked off the shelf because it lacks the printed words that other books have. When a young girl finally reads the book, it, and the reader, finally appreciates the magic of Braille and the printed word.
Stunning illustrations of a blockish, white library with tissue paper shapes escaping from books like delicious aroma emanating from a kitchen in use. I love the imagination and the breaking down of the divide between reader, character, and book - a magical blend of reality and the Book World that shows how literature transcends print.
10/10 Would recommend
