Sinossi

Randolph Caldecott's "The Queen of Hearts, and Sing a Song for Sixpence" exemplifies the merging of lyrical poetry and whimsical illustrations characteristic of the Victorian era. Through playful verse and charming illustrations, Caldecott captures the enchanting world of nursery rhymes and children's folklore. His innovative use of sequential art not only engages young readers but also invites them into a world where imagination reigns supreme. As a seminal figure in children's literature, Caldecott's storytelling embodies a unique literary style that blurs the lines between text and illustration, marking a significant evolution in the genre's development. Caldecott, an English artist and illustrator, possessed a keen understanding of the child's perspective, shaped by his formative years in rural England. His experiences in drawing landscapes and folklore significantly influenced his artistic style, as he sought to create stories that resonate with the joys and curiosities of childhood. His dedication to enriching children's literature led to his lasting legacy, with the Caldecott Medal named in his honor, celebrating exemplary illustrated children's books. This delightful collection invites readers of all ages to immerse themselves in its playful narratives and vivid imagery. Ideal for educators and parents, Caldecott's work not only entertains but also sparks a love for reading in children, making it a timeless addition to any literary collection.

Based on the perspective of a boy who is blessed with discernment, innocence, love, beauty, and companionship. Beya Bean Blue, goes beyond a common thread of human understanding that monsters are evil and harmful. He proves that they are not so in the fanciful world of children. It means power of innocence and imagination that children bare in their lives can do wonders. The great romantic and visionary poet William Blake, in Auguries of "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour". In the same vein, Beya befriends the monsters and they both make a lasting bond as if there is nothing wrong in life. Their hearts pure and immaculate, do not see any distinction between themselves or the world around them. They are meek and innocent like the lambs in the pastures which do not run even they see encounter the wolves as in Blake's classic "Songs of Innocence and Experience".

The arrival of a friend of the family, Yara Fielding, starts an adventure that will take Rosa deep into the lush beauty of the Amazon rainforest in search of jaguars, ancient giant sloths and somewhere to belong. What she finds is Yara’s lively, welcoming family on the banks of the river and, together, they face a danger greater than she could ever have imagined.
