Reach for this book when your child feels discouraged by a creative block or believes that everything worth discovering has already been found by someone else. It is a perfect remedy for the 'I do not know what to draw' or 'I have no ideas' phase of early elementary school. The story follows Rose, a young girl who wants to bring something truly unique to show-and-tell but struggles to find a physical object that fits the bill. Through a series of whimsical, map-inspired journeys, Rose realizes that her own imagination and the way she sees the world are the ultimate discoveries. This book is developmentally perfect for children ages 4 to 8, offering a secular and metaphorical approach to building self-confidence and creative resilience. It encourages children to look inward for inspiration and validates the idea that their unique perspective is a gift worth sharing.
