What If....
What if? I really liked this book because it deals with the idea of, what if and creativity. The young girl in this story begins with some paper and a pencil and is drawing out her story. She then questions, what if she didn’t have a pencil, how could she tell her story? This premise of what if, continues throughout the book as she deals with her paper disappearing, the floor beneath falling away, her walls disappearing, and the ground that she walks upon vanishing, just to name a few. Layer-upon-layer the items that she uses begin to fall away until she is relying upon the one thing that no one can take away from her.
It’s a cute, simple book that is rich in color with bold text throughout its pages. It shows children exactly where ideas and stories originate from and I feel it can help them become better story tellers/writers.
