What Do You Do with an Idea?

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.

Fabulous little book for anyone who needs a boost of confidence to nurture an idea and put it out there!

Such a strong message put in a simple way. This can teach not only your kid but you as well.

Fell in love with the book and had such a great time exploring the ideas with my girls. Essential reading!

Every child (and possibly most adults) needs a copy. The illustrations are evocative. The idea so supportive and inspiring.

Exxagerated. Its a normal book. Not something that is not known. Overpr8ced at the same time. Disappointed withe content of book. Not worth buying it.

Great read Ideas are to be nurtured and acted on concept beautifully explained

Nice printing, binding, pics and message. But not value for money (at all)! Might as well buy the kindle version.

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.

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

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.:)
