Words @ Work: Building Imaginations

Groups of letters make up words. Groups of words make up paragraphs. Groups of paragraphs make up pages. Groups of pages make up books. And books help to build imaginations.

Sorry for the elementary-style lesson, but we wanted to illustrate how words mean so much to our imaginations. Without words, our imaginations would suffer migraines as they try to make sense of a jumble of letters and spaces. For example: beforeyougocrazytryingtofigureoutthismessofwhatevertakeabreathandsingasoothingsonginyourbraintoeaseyourimaginationwhohasdecidedtocrankupyourmigraine.

See? Words need to look like words in order for us to process them through to our imaginations. And when our imaginations are sufficiently fed and built, they can take us anywhere.

So, come on in and watch imaginations being built right before your eyes by some of the most talented authors on the planet.
