A picture book that empowers children to express themselves freely and celebrate the beauty of imperfect creativity. Every page invites young readers to add their own touch, transforming reading into a personal act of artistic discovery.
What if there were a book that changed every time you read it? Actually, every book does this. We are all part of the books we read, because our individual reactions, ideas, and emotions make the book whole, and these things are changing all the time.
Kids will discover that reading can engage all five senses, and that what they themselves bring to a book is an important contribution. (And of course they'll be invited to do a bit of harmless wrecking!)
Author and illustrator turned guerrilla artist Keri Smith has helped millions of people free their creativity and find their own voice with her interactive books, and now she brings that sensibility to children and to the act of reading.
