It seems that lots of people already knew about this book before me, but for those of you who don't, you NEED to check this out! Emma-Lee gave me the most lovely baby present I've gotten so far, and although she explained that she buys this book for any remotely appropriate situation, I'm so glad she did! It's called 'An Awesome Book' by Dallas Clayton, and I recommend it to anyone who loves dreaming, thinking, making, pretty pictures, big ideas and lovely stories- and it isn't just for little ones, although it has been written especially for them.
It's about thinking outside boringness and blandness and thinking big, and it's been done in such a beautiful way.
You can read the whole thing here, and then I think you should buy it, and then buy one for everyone you know! I love it.
Thank-you Emma-Lee!! :)
