An Indie Next List Selection
Keri Smith, creator of the mega-bestselling Wreck This Journal, now
brings her imagination and inspiration to children with this picture
book that explores the very active experience of reading.
What if there were a book that changed every time you read it?
Actually, every book does this. We are all part of the books we read,
because our individual reactions, ideas, and emotions make the book
whole, and these things are changing all the time. Keri Smith has helped
millions of people free their creativity and find their own voice with
her interactive books, and now she brings that sensibility to children
and to the act of reading. This picture book is an invitation to honor
your own vision and to welcome imperfection. Kids will discover that
reading can engage all five senses, and that what they themselves bring
to a book is an important contribution. (And of course they'll be
invited to do a bit of harmless wrecking!)
