The Wonder of Reading

I have loved books my entire life and was fortunate to give birth to another avid reader. Before our daughter was even born, we had bookcases built into the walls of her room (as shown) and filled them with classics. The concept for this shot was to show how books can transport you to a magical world — the healthiest form of escapism I know. My daughter helped select stuffed animals that represent famous characters from books that she loves. This is one of my favorites of our collaborative efforts.
