It’s hard to decide which is lovelier: this drawing by Beatriz Martin Vidal from Spain, or its lovely interpretation by Sandra from the US.

Sandra writes:

The transformation, or transportation a child, or person, experiences when reading a good book is apparent in the drawing. For us, the observer of this drawing, it is not necessary to read what the actual words say, but it is to see the transportation of the mind absorbing the story as it lifts her from her present state into that of the unknown.
