Where do ideas come from?
Maybe they grow in the ground like a seed.
Maybe you bake them like a bun.
Perhaps you can catch a shimmering idea from the sea, or pluck a ripe one from the branches of a tree . . .
Follow a curious little girl as she tries to find the answer to this very big question.
A playful celebration of creativity, imagination and discovery from award-winning debut creator, Forest Xiao.
Where do ideas come from? Maybe they grow in the ground like a seed. Maybe you bake them like a bun. Perhaps you can catch a shimmering idea from the sea, or pluck a ripe one from the branches of a tree . . .
Follow a little girl as she curiously tries to find the answer to this very big question. A clever and colourful book for younger readers which brings together adventure, a range of contexts and subjects.
As the little girl sets out to catch ‘a super-shiny, sparkling, brand-new’ idea, she asks advice from those she meets along the way. Children are sure to have plenty of their own thoughts about where ideas come from – perhaps they might be inspired to start a notebook like hers, allowing them to draw, note, write and scribble as ideas and thoughts come to them.
The lovely illustrations (drawn as if in a child’s hand) complement the narrative, and the cute squirrel companion added a touch of humour with its antics.
A resource pack provided by the publisher to accompany the book How to Catch an Idea.
