What Do You Do With an Idea?

This book has a totally different perspective for parents who have recently lost a baby or child; it is somewhat healing and comforting, but will certainly bring you to tears. It is beautifully written, captivating, and emotional.

I love this book! For anyone trying to teach their children about the importance of creativity, perseverance, individuality... this book is for you. I find the story compelling in the way the character has an idea, neglects it and then embraces it - no matter what anyone else thinks. And then the idea takes flight. My son asked me, what was the character's idea? I asked him back, does it matter?

I bought this after my sister (a creative writing major) presented it to me. I'm actually giving it as a present to my husband. It's simply perfect and lovely.

Beautiful story about creativity and braveness. The illustrations are amazing.

This is a wonderful book for young children to let them know that their ideas matter. The message is about believing in yourself and your ideas even when others don't. I always enjoy books that help build a strong foundation of self-esteem in kids.

Great book. Highly recommended for kids that ask a lot of questions. This is not your typical commercial item. The art is very whimsical and imaginative. If your kid likes Totoro or Anime she will love this book.

Every parent, teacher and student needs to read this book. Encourages thinking outside the box and what do you do when you have an idea?? Certainly not disregard it....where would Apple be if the "garage" hadn't pursued??? Many things have been created from an idea.

What a wonderful and inspiring message to share with your kids (or adults!). It's a quick read and gives a lot of opportunity to talk about the emotions of being embarrassed and unsure. Highly recommend to anyone.
