Today’s cozy read‑aloud features The Collector of Heads, a surreal and beautifully illustrated picture book by Ana Matsusaki. Each spread reveals the inner world of a different person through symbolic, playful, and sometimes mysterious imagery.

For this video, I selected spreads that create a gentle “Inner Worlds Journey”: an introduction to Rosália, several profession heads, a burst of expressive faces, a thematic reflection on what we carry inside, and a quiet closing moment.

Before recording, I made a small index‑card collage inspired by Matsusaki’s palette — warm reds, soft creams, and the whimsical shapes that fill each head. This quiet ritual helps me enter the illustrator’s world with intention.

🎥 Watch the full cozy read‑aloud and enjoy this reflective, art‑driven journey.
