“All of the wonderful things that we find in the world of imagination can be found between the pages of a book,” Kelli Bickman writes. This whimsical and colorful mural depicts children engaged in reading to illustrate the transformative power of books, the magic of libraries, and the importance of imagination. Bickman is not only a painter, but has published her own book of photographs (What I Thought I Saw) in addition to illustrating and designing book jackets for several notable authors.
