From the Publisher

NURTURE WONDERFULLY WILD IDEAS

PRAISE FOR “WHAT DO YOU DO WITH AN IDEA?”

“Once in a while, a picture book comes along and challenges every reader to recalibrate their expectations on what a picture book can deliver and accomplish. The books in this category contain creativity, mindfulness, complexity, masterful illustrations, and arresting inspiration. What Do You Do With An Idea? by Kobi Yamada and illustrated by Mae Besom, is one such picture book.”—The Children’s Book Review“Yamada and Besom team up to capture an abstract idea and make it conceivable to even the youngest readers. 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.
