When I Redraw the World -- Audrey Vernick, Hardcover

An endearing and fun celebration of imagination and curiosity as a young girl imagines a world where everyone has a home, animals have tea parties instead of fights, and tree-house ice cream shops will be a thing.

When I redraw the world, rainbows will be the type you can walk on...

In pages bursting with joy, a young child imagines a world where everyone has a home, tree-house ice cream shops are a thing, and you can always find a kind elephant in case you need to reach something high. And when a dog does something great, tennis-ball confetti will immediately erupt--dogs everywhere will rejoice!

This endearing and vibrant celebration of curiosity and imagination will spark conversation and laughter. If you could redraw the world, where would you start?
