A New York Times Best Seller and award-winning book, What Do You Do With an Idea? is for anyone who’s ever had a big idea.

Young readers will come to appreciate the power of ideas and the resilience necessary to grow them.” —The Children’s Writer’s Guild“Beautiful, textured illustrations bring this book to life, perfect for anyone, of any age who could do with some special space to get their idea started.” —The Little Book Collector“I read this book slowly and purposefully. By page two, I realized I had come upon something very special, and I wanted to savor the moment—because while we can enjoy books over and over again, we can never read a book for the first time twice.” —Unleashing ReadersGold medal winner of the Independent Publishers Award, the Washington State Book Award, the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award, and the Gelett Children’s Book Award.National best seller, appearing in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly.
A LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK
WHAT DO IDEAS BECOME?
Big things, brave things, smart things, silly things, good things. Things like stories, artwork, journeys, inventions, communities, products, and cures—everything you see around you was once an idea.
BUILDS CONFIDENCE AND SUPPORTS CREATIVITY
This story is a celebration of ideas that come in all shapes and sizes. It follows a child who has an idea, one he doesn’t know what to do with. He’s afraid others will think his idea is too strange, too different, too wild, so he keeps it to himself. But as the child’s confidence grows, so does the idea itself. Until one day, something amazing happens.
YOU CHANGE THE WORLD
This is a story to inspire you to welcome that idea, to give it space to grow, and to see what happens next.
So what will become of your idea? Now that’s up to you.
