We’re excited to announce the publication of a new activity book designed to ignite creativity and critical thinking in young children!

If I Were a Road
$13 (ages 8-10)
54 pages

If I Were a Road begins with a series of illustrated imaginings of life as a road. Here’s an example:

“If I were a road, I’d be a country road winding through the farmlands that surround the city. Bees and grasshoppers would buzz by me on their way to work in the cornfields. Cows and horses would clomp across my back going to and from the barn.”

The second part of the book, the Activities section, begins by offering parents and instructors guidance for developing creative thinking, as well as key insights into how to explore the story for further discussion.

The remainder of the book opens the door for creativity within its pages as it encourages kids to explore different perspectives through activities and thought exercises and to express themselves creatively through art, writing, and oral storytelling.

Why creative thinking matters: Creative thinking isn’t just about artistic expression; it’s a skill that fosters deeper understanding, adaptability, and innovation. In today’s world, where problem-solving and originality are highly valued, honing creative thinking early on equips children with essential tools for lifelong learning and success.

How If I Were a Road can boost your child’s education:

• Encourages Exploration: Prompts children to explore diverse viewpoints and imagine themselves in different roles, fostering empathy and broadening their perspective
• Enhances Problem-Solving: Through activities such as map-making and puzzle-solving, children learn to approach challenges creatively and to look for multiple avenues to solutions
• Promotes Self-Expression: Provides a platform for children to express themselves confidently through art, storytelling, and creative writing, building their communication skills
