In the future I will release a picture book called, “If Dogs Giggled,” which will be a rhyming story using the question, “what if?”
Today at work I was asked by a first grade teacher to visit his classroom as an author. Now Chocrotes and the World Without Question is not meant for first graders, so instead I chose to read them a couple of my future picture books. While I read them the stories they asked to see the pictures, which as of now do not exist. Now I believe in the power of a child’s imagination to create images out of words, so I instructed them to close their eyes and imagine what was happening in the story.
Following the reading, we had the students draw the most memorable picture that popped into their minds while I read. I took the drawings home to show to you what their imaginations cooked up. Tomorrow I will return them to their rightful owners.
