Books like Hide and Seek Fog
By Alvin Tresselt
A hopeful young troll sets sail with his family to Lonely Island in search of treasure, only to find the sun has set — leaving them to search by moonlight alone.
A young boy sets off on a moonlit walk armed with only an oversize purple crayon, drawing his own path through woods, seas, and dragons before finding his way safely back to bed.
A science-minded boy examining flotsam on the beach finds a barnacle-crusted underwater camera, and the developed photos reveal astonishing secrets from the deep.
A journey through a string of impossible moments — a swing that soars past treetops, a bike path made of falling leaves, balloons that turn a gray sky postcard-perfect — where the everyday world quietly becomes something else entirely.
A little girl who wants a pony more than anything draws a dappled mare she names Silver, then imagines riding her through a magical countryside and even among the stars.
A boy falls asleep holding a book and drifts into a wordless dream world where chess pieces come alive, a dragon appears, and landscapes shift from canyons into cities before his eyes.
A boy who lives by the sea builds his own ship to sail out and find the magical place his late grandfather always spoke of, where the ocean meets the sky.
A young man buys a violin for one silver piece, and the moment he plays it, fish take to the air, cows start dancing, and apple trees sprout cake and ice cream.
A collection of poems imagines a curious inn run by poet William Blake, where dragons, angels, and a Man in the Moon all check in for the night.
A young boy watches an airplane cross the sky and imagines climbing aboard, flying past trains and boats, all the way to the moon and back to his mother's arms.
A curious kid heads outside to explore wind firsthand — feeling it push and pull, chasing hats, and figuring out why something you can't see is so easy to feel.
