Recipient of the Mom's Choice Awards® Gold Award Seven hours. One car. And a little girl with a BIG imagination! Patty is headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house, but seven hours in the car feels like FOREVER. Surely her magical words can hurry things along? When the journey won't go faster, six-year-old Patty puts her colourful imagination to work. Suddenly, that "boring" ride is bursting with adventure, surprises and giggles. Just how much fun can one little girl dream up? Perfectly Patty's Colourful Imagination is a playful picture book for children ages 4-8 that celebrates imagination and the growing self-belief that comes from discovering, "I have ideas of my own!" Every "What if?" is a chance to think, learn and grow. Using imagination gives children opportunities to explore possibilities, solve problems, consider different perspectives and express their ideas. As they practice these skills, they can begin to trust their thinking, feel more capable and find the courage to try something new. Patty invites young readers to be smart thinkers, brave action-takers and perfectly themselves. Her adventure opens conversations about patience, choices and discovering possibilities when things don't go as planned. For principals, teachers and librarians, this engaging read-aloud brings together storytelling, creative thinking and conversations about self-worth. Invite children to predict, imagine, explain their ideas and share what makes them unique. There's room for every child's voice and no single "perfect" way to imagine! At school, in the library or snuggled up at home, Patty's message is one children can carry far beyond the last page: "I am NOT perfect, but I AM perfectly me, and YOU are perfectly you." Open the book, join the adventure and see where Patty's imagination takes yours! Helping children ages 4-8 believe in themselves so confidence can grow.
