"Make a mess,
or make, instead,
a universe inside your head.
Make a rhythm -
drum and pound.
Ears make out another sound.
Make a telescope from toys.
See what's making all that noise."
Using rhyming verse and an abundance of inspiration, Katey Howes creates the perfect invitation for those children who can't wait to start making a difference in their world. It begins as soon as eyes open in the morning.
'in a world of possibilities, today, what will you make?'
Imagine! She encourages taking the world by its shoestrings, and making it a better place. There are no limits to using the talents the young girl has to find purpose in her world. Whether it's building an amazing tower that collapses and makes a big mess, or instruments that encourage musical interpretation, the intrepid explorer moves from one passion to another as the day passes. A telescope fashioned from readily available materials and a drafting desk for making plans galore only up her imagination.
And, what about making a friend? A homemade spaceship, a personal map, and a chance meeting with a boy whose interests mirror her own leads to a great deal more adventure than one might have imagined on even the best of days! One thing leads to another, and the two soon join a community filled with people working together to change their own small place in a much greater world.
Using mixed media and a lively imagination of her own, Ms. Vukovic fills her pages with the true beauty of an imaginative and caring mind. Her childlike drawings, and her lovely details on every page up the appeal and beauty of this book for those who want to change the world. Bravo!
