I truly adore this print! I love the whimsical, flights of fancy it inspires! I think this print would be perfect in my bedroom in my new home in my new country. The little leaves seem like a perfect extension of the tree theme I already have, and bedrooms are a perfect place for little stories to get their start and take you off into all sorts of wonderful worlds as you dream!

I think this print represents the joy of reading, and that's what I like so much about it!

It's a very interesting print. My hubbie and I are huge readers, having to recently buy 3 new ikea bookshelves to store everything. This would be a great addition to our office.

I LOVE this print! i love that it represents how our imaginations grow the more we read!
Posted by: Lisa Sorzano | 08/18/2008 at 11:15 AM
this print is beautiful! it reminds me of my two little kids... they always want me to read to them or to tell them a story about when I was a little kid. I would definitely put this in my daughters room, she would love it.
Posted by: Kelly Darke | 08/18/2008 at 11:40 AM
i could stare at it for hours on end!
Posted by: Mary Jenkins | 08/18/2008 at 11:46 AM
I like how this print combines a love of books and the places the imagination can lead you. Plus green is my favorite color.

Love it!!! Fantastic colors... I have the perfect spot for it in my home!

I would love to hang this print in my son Liam's room -- he is trying to learn baby sign language (he's 14 months and doesn't talk yet) and we've been working on the sign for "story." Thank you,
Elizabeth

I would love to have this print for my home. My husband and I are getting our "nest" set up, as we were married in January, and it would go perfectly in our White Reading Room.
Posted by: Sarah L. | 08/18/2008 at 12:15 PM
I love this print! Our living room is decorated in these colors, and we have a baby due Sept. 10 so this would be a wonderful little way to commemorate her birth!

There is nothing better than getting totally lost in a good book. Sometimes I disappear for days:) I love this print!

This is lovely! I work in a gallery in Atlanta, but am always too broke to afford the beautiful art i see. To win this would be great!

I like this print because the more I look at it the more I see. I like the negative space almost as much as the positive space.
Posted by: Christine | 08/18/2008 at 12:40 PM
im not an owner of my own nest, yet. but as the ol' saying says: "home is where the heart is" so this print would definitely help keep reminding the lucky i am for having a place to dream about the great things to come. Besides i'm turning the big three cero the firt saturday of sept omg!

I would love this print. I love art, love reading, love leaves, and most of all love Ana Ventura!
Posted by: Hanna | 08/18/2008 at 12:52 PM
I would love to have this print for my bedroom!
Posted by: Laura GF | 08/18/2008 at 12:59 PM
I would hang this print in my classroom for the start of the school year- it would send the continued message that my students should read- for pleasure!

I think the little guys look like my little guy!
Posted by: Jern | 08/18/2008 at 01:26 PM
this print is wonderful. I think 'whimsical' has already been used to describe it, which is totally right. LOVE it. Fanciful. perfect for a reader. storyteller. dreamer.
Posted by: tammy | 08/18/2008 at 01:43 PM
I would LOVE to win this! Now that summer is behind us my office is dreary and absent of light and color. I could really use a new print to bring in some energy and lift my spirits. Green is the perfect color!
Posted by: Rachel | 08/18/2008 at 01:59 PM
I just painted my bedroom walls a green hue and they're begging for this print to be hung on them :)
Posted by: Jennifer | 08/18/2008 at 02:25 PM
thank you for your lovely words :) I'm blushing :)

I love the colours in this print. They look great together on a white background.

i love how whimsical this print is. it reminds us how reading inspires the imagination. beautiful!
Posted by: hannah | 08/18/2008 at 03:30 PM
I'm an art student who'll be moving half way across the world to study at Central Saint Martins in London, having this print would help me to remember through all the competition and stress, that the most important part of an artist is the imagination.
Posted by: Janelle | 08/18/2008 at 03:40 PM
This print is special because, like all thoughtful art, it means something unique to each person who views it; this makes it is not only beautiful to look at, but a fun discussion piece. But what resonates with me, personally, is that it reflects what the inside of my own mind looks like [on good days]…little creatures drifting about with all sorts of ideas, adventures + dreams sprouting from them.
Posted by: Jen F | 08/18/2008 at 03:41 PM
I'm an art librarian, so this print would be perfect for my office!
Posted by: Yvette | 08/18/2008 at 04:29 PM
I could read this story in portuguese, english even chinese or greek. These images are translatable into an universe of green poetry, an ethereal design where I could live and breath more clearly. Draw/write on my walls the green wisper 'once upon a time'...
Posted by: Vera | 08/18/2008 at 05:31 PM
I could look at this print for hours and hours just imagining what is going on, and more and more could be imagined - what each of the characters do and their relationships with each other, how you get absorbed in reading, relax, feed from others wise minds or lay on your back in a funny position.
Posted by: Cris | 08/18/2008 at 06:34 PM
Great Print! As a reading teacher turned art teacher it combines my two loves!
Posted by: abe | 08/18/2008 at 07:11 PM
It's the colours that do it for me, plus the whole whimsical idea of creativity coming out of your head! Love it!

This is delightful. My favorite part is the upper left corner. I love how the bird is so calmly riding away on the branch-foot of a magical sprout-guy. So much fun. I need some fun on my wall!
Posted by: Geo | 08/19/2008 at 12:57 AM
I just love it because it takes me away to a beautiful place called imagination!

Es precioso! perfecto para el cuarto de mi niña!

Ana has an unique way to bring magic to us all, through her drawings... Everything always so colorful balanced, and harmoniously sweet... I hope this print brings all that magic to someone... even if it's not me!!!
If your reading this, congratulations for the wonderful work Ana!

Reading we can fly away and be able to create new worlds...she tells exactly that!

I love it! The colors, the creatures...it's perfect. This would go great in our study.
