Peter Pan is one of those books that has been illustrated and brought to life many times over, allowing readers to choose from several beautifully illustrated options. It took some thought before I decided on a rather unusual edition which was recently illustrated by a company called MinaLima.
MinaLima is a graphic design company who's most well-known work includes designing props and set elements for the Harry Potter movies. Using that same kind of whimsy and magic, MinaLima decided to put out an edition of Peter Pan which is not only full of lovely vintage-style illustrations but also includes some interactive elements to bring the magic of the story to life!
Once I discovered the MinaLima edition it was an easy choice. In the end, I always choose the edition that speaks most to me and this edition is so unique and special.
One of my favorite things about the book are the two-page, colorful spreads that are used at the head of each chapter.
There are also a lot of those colorful, vintage-style illustrations mixed in along the way.
But now the really magical part, the interactive illustrations and fold-out elements that make this book one-of-a-kind:
The boys and I perused over the book when it arrived this morning and we all can't wait to read it together as soon as we finish reading The Secret Garden. As we were looking through our new book, one of my twins said to me, "When I'm a Dad, I want to read these books to my kids." That filled me with joy! Reading great books with your family can be a gift that continues for multiple generations.
