Three-year-old Zander Hannah blows bubbles while his father, Geoff Akins-Hannah, and 2-year-old sister, Gracie, watch after his "Bubble Wonders" show at Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary School in Prospect Heights. Akins-Hannah created a bubble caterpillar, a smoking bubble, and captured a kid in a bubble at the show as he entertained students in early childhood, kindergarten and first grade. I love the angle and perspective of this picture. The boy seems to be in bliss as the bubbles float around him. This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edition of the Daily Herald.
