Picture Book Month: Imagination

A young girl is creative and imaginative, so when she decides to build a magnificent thing, she doesn’t give it another thought, that is, until her first try doesn’t work, her second try doesn’t work either and soon she’s become frustrated and upset that she can’t build the most magnificent thing that she can see so clearly in her mind. But, when her adorable assistant/puppy suggests a walk, the little girl sees that each of her failed projects has one part that might just work. This is a story of imagination, determination and learning that sometimes not making something the way you want it to be leads to making something magnificent.
