In "The Typewriter" by Bill Thomson, three children discover the power of imagination through words when they find a magical typewriter on a snowy day. With gorgeous, life-like illustrations and no words except for what the children type, any child will be pulled straight into the story, and hopefully have their own story to tell or write when they finish.
"Puddle" by Hyewon Yum chronicles the story of a little boy who is so annoyed and bored by the rain outside that he refuses to play. His mother pulls him out of his boredom by drawing a little boy and his mother going for a walk in the rain, only to end up splashing in puddles. The funny child-like drawings will bring giggles to readers, and adults will appreciate the sweet relationship between the mother and child.Use these books as stepping stones to create with your child, or to encourage your child to create through pictures and words.
