There are books with illustrations evoking expressions that seem to attract and elicit reactions both verbal and emotional. The book Charming Opal did this trick.
Charming Opal is about a pig who visited her cousins at Woodcock Pocket. It is about Opal’s adventures with her cousins and the eventual lost of her wobbly tooth.
The illustrations evoked much of the excitement during the first few pages and the drama when the tooth got lost and cannot be found. It imbibed disappointment when I thought the tooth fairy wasn’t able to visit Opal. It woke my cheery spirit learning she got a quarter from the tooth fairy at the end of the story.
Holly Hobbie, the author and illustrator, is a magnificent person as she can convey her messages not just with words but also with the vivid expressions of her book characters and the situations they are into. She is a reigning favorite of mine.
Truly our face is the window of our emotions. Our sadness is magnified by our sorrowful eyes and faint smiles, while our happiness is seen through the beaming delight of our actions. So when these expressions are put into drawings, a book becomes more than a book, it is alive.
