This english - romanian interactive book for children, parents and teachers gathers various artworks made by Roxana Ene and her team together with children from Germany and Romania, as part of the collaborative artprojects Roxy & Kids Art. Each artwork brings together the child's abstract painting and the illustrator's drawings, which adds unexpected meanings to the splash of colours. The reader is encouraged to "continue" some of the paitings using the tracing paper provided. The book may be read as a story, may be drawn upon or may be used as inspiration source for other artworks.

"Do not try to compare the artworks in this book. There is no need to weigh, analyze and decide which one is the best, Roxana has put them together just to help you see something that you couldn't have observed in an ordinary day. Roxana has gathered together brides and princesses, winged creatures and furry animals, warm mothers and dreamy children playing in elusive seasons. Look at them. Do you see what I see? Shhh, quiet, you don't have to tell me. Just wonder, shout inside your heart and keep your thought there. It's a thought that has just captured the light. And you know, the Light makes us more spacious."

Maria Cosmina Dragomir, Phd. Professional artist, teacher of visual arts
