LEONARDO DREAMS OF HIS FLYING MACHINE (2020)
Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri
Illustrations by Anne Horjus
What would it be like to soar over the rooftops and towers of an Italian Renaissance city? Leonardo daVinci dreamed of doing just that. His genius and imagination have inspired artists and inventors for centuries, including the creators of this book. Sumptuous oil-on-panel, chalk, and silver-point illustrations tell the story of Leonardo's dream of flight and the successes of those who followed in his footsteps.
Inspired by "Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine" by composer Eric Whitacre and lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri

SLEEP (2013)
Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri
Illustrations by Anne Horjus
A young boy is wide awake at bedtime. He struggles against sleep, as he hears noises in the night and his imagination races. He finally drifts off, amid soaring visions of flying through a spectacular sky. Built subtly into the illustrations is the deeper theme of loss. The boy has lost his mother; and yet her presence (in the form of a feather on every page) helps comfort him to sleep.
