What Do You Do With an Idea?

This was a great way to motivate both my daughter and myself to keep pursuing our goals and not give up on our ideas.

I bought this book for my daughter, she loves the book so much but I love it more. the idea of the book is just so relevant to all age group. Well done to the author❤️

This is a brilliant book.The illustrations are fantastic and the story is just beautiful.I think I liked it a little more than my kids.I will definitely keep this book to pass on to grandchildren.Enjoy

We keep this book on display in our lounge. Friends and family happen upon it and get carried away into the story - it's a little gem of a book for big and small - I think a lovely reminder of believing in yourself and have faith in choosing your own path. Definitely buy it and keep it forever!

I love reading this book to children. They love it and it sparks great conversations.

such a beautiful book for all ages. Unfortunately my 4 year old has no interest. I might have put her off it because it made me cry :/ It's a keeper and we can read it together over the years. It would make a really great gift for anyone, adults, basically anyone who is pursuing a dream or passion.

What a fantastic, inspiring book. My two boys, aged 5 and 7, were hooked from page one. The eldest is learning about inventors at school and quickly linked it to his learning. I will definitely be recommending this book to friends. Up there with iggy peck as one of our favourites. Thank you.

Book was bought as a present for a 5 year old . A bright ,curious chap . He loved the book.!!!!

Well written and the illustrations are beautiful.

just a beautiful book

Un libro bellísimo, no sólo para los niños, uno como adulto puede encontrar un gran mensaje, buen regalo para todas las edades.

The most likeable part is the way of putting the fundamental irreducible concept which begins within the mind as thought and the transition from isolation t o friendship through colors is liberating. Beautiful, however for children be it of a few years old or somebody like me with 41 years. I am reliving my second childhood with my daughter who is 7 years. Somewhere the price for something like this is priceless and so must be reduced to allow all to access and get liberated.

My five-year-old loves this specific author, and I’ve purchased multiple books by him. However, I never bought this one because I thought it was famous for elementary students. I assumed he must have heard or read it many times, so I purchased some books he probably hasn’t come across yet. He loved the other ones I picked for him by the same author. One day, however, he came home from first grade and said, "Mom, will you buy me 'What Do You Do with an Idea?'" I replied, "I know that book! I thought you didn’t want it because I’m sure it’s in your school library. Your teacher seems like the type who would have it in the classroom." He told me, "Yes, she has read it to me! It’s my favorite book of his because I have so many ideas, Mom! Kids always have ideas! We have so many, so many!” He described how big and beautiful the idea becomes in the book. We talked for an hour about his ideas, like making art or being an artist. He mentioned that one of our family members had told him, “If you want to be an artist, be prepared to be poor because they don’t make much money.” When he read this book, he thought about his dream of making art and his family member's comments. He realized, “No! I love my idea of making art. I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m going to do it, and I’m going to enjoy it and love it.” He said that once he started ignoring the negative things people were saying about him, he realized he could change the world, even if nobody believed he could. This simple discussion with my five-year-old made me realize this book is changing children everywhere. It motivates them and encourages them to keep going in a harsh, cruel world, where adults unintentionally discourage each other, as well as the children that look up to them. This book reminds adults wnd children alike to dream big and never give up on their ideas.:)
