Noticing things
is easy for you,
It’s something a grown-up
can find hard to do.

Children have vivid imaginations! With the flick of a wand they can turn into a cat, a trapeze artist and even make the sofa soar through the air like a magic carpet. Grown-ups, however, can find it difficult to imagine and play. You see, grown-ups are busy and have lots on their mind. But this doesn’t mean they can’t imagine – it just means they need a little help remembering how to! So it’s up to children to teach their grown-ups to notice, discover and have FUN making believe.

This charming picture book is a moving celebration of family, play and the joy of imagination by poet Collette Hiller, brought to life with illustrations from debut talent Corrie Gorman.
