Very short, creative stories pair with bold illustrations in this
picture book that will inspire young readers to stretch their
imaginations and write stories of their own.
"One day. . . I went to school. I came home. The end," says our
storyteller--a girl with a busy imagination and a thirst for adventure.
The art tells a fuller tale of calamity on the way to school and an
unpredictably happy ending. Each illustration in this inventive picture
book captures multiple, unexpected, and funny storylines as the narrator
shares her shorter-than-ever stories, ending with "One day. . . I wanted
to write a book." This book demonstrates a unique approach to writing
and telling stories and is a delightful gift for children as well as for
teachers seeking a mentor text for their classrooms.
