The Smith family has always been a little bit different.

Other children might collect stray animals, but Peter and Sally Smith bring home an old lady from the local shopping mall. Mr and Mrs Smith aren't quite sure she should stay, but Granny bustles past them and settles right in. Maybe she's just what they've been missing.

Imagine a place that makes you feel like it's always been your destination. Imagine a place made out of pure imagination. "Imagine a Place" is a gorgeous companion to the critically acclaimed "Imagine a Night" and "Imagine a Day," and reminds us that imagination is powerful enough to take us anywhere we want to go. And Rob Gonsalves's exquisitely conceived paintings leave you in awe...of "his" imagination.
