In Jimmy’s works, there are some revealing and positive meanings. After reading Jimmy’s picture books, readers can feel gentle and warm from his paintings. There are unlimited creativity and reflection of his life in his books. How can Jimmy paint so impressive images? How can Jimmy’s picture books attract so numerous readers? It is because that Jimmy had experienced the most frustrated time in his life. On one day ,he unfortunately found that he got Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Then, he had no choice but to undergo some sort of drug therapy and chemotherapy. During the time when he stayed in the hospital, he vomited, fevered, was always in coma, and felt like in a nightmare. The horrifying transition in his life made him treasure the value of life much more and changed his creation style. Take one of my favorite Jimmy’s picture books for an example, A Fish with a Smile, is a symbol of the release of his mind. The picture book not only reminds Jimmy of those days when he was in hospital but also release the desire of telling his story. There is no way to start over again. He wants to value each moment in his life to make his dream come true.
Jimmy tastes surrounding people and things with his sensitive mind. He conveys his emotions, thoughts and feelings by his books. Jimmy’s picture books are reflects to modern people’s lives; as a result, people can find a warm commitment to spirits from them. It is why Jimmy’s picture books can attract and impress so many readers.
