Reach for this book when your child feels like their big ideas are being overlooked by the busy adults around them, or when they are deep in a phase of creative 'make-believe.' This whimsical story follows a young boy who draws a picture of flying cows, only to have the drawing blow away and seemingly come to life. Despite his excitement, the adults in his world are too preoccupied with mundane tasks to look up and see the magic for themselves. At its heart, this is a story about the validation of a child's inner world and the occasional disconnect between youthful wonder and adult logic. For children ages 3 to 7, it serves as a humorous and comforting reminder that their imagination is a powerful tool, even if the rest of the world isn't always paying attention. It is a perfect choice for encouraging artistic expression and opening a conversation about how it feels to share something special with others.
