Whoosh‪!‬

Whoosh! is a story about boy who goes on his first plane flight, and as he looks out of the window, he imagines all kinds of things. He is flying like a bird, becoming a cloud, seeing rivers that look like snakes, imaging he is piling up tiny houses like a tower of blocks, and more.  At the end of the flight, his father asks him how he liked his first flight, and he says, "I really flew!"

            What is unique about his journey is that all the illustrations have been created through AI, based on writing a short sentence or series of words indicating what the image should look like. Then, the computer comes up with an image. So Whoosh! is both a story about using one's imagination on a journey and an exploration of a new technology medium.
