The book takes the reader to the possibilities in their early life creativity and how awesome it will be if they can replicate them as an adult. It is a process. I would love to read the book.

Knowing the names of what we are feeling is a useful tool for our psychological well-being (being upset is not the same as being disappointed or frustrated). I love that the author added the option of coloring the illustrations because a creative outlet is another way to foster mental health. Thank you for your review.

I think that adults don’t feel things the same way as children because of their experiences. We think we know too much. I’m glad that the drawings were so intriguing as well.

I love the short, almost poetic sections of prose, which makes the book easy to read and very personable. The pictures are a lighthearted bonus, and do take me back to my childhood.

In my childhood, I used to be drawn to the cartoons and clip art series in newspapers just for viewing the different aspect of human nature. It's true that these figments make us creative and are associated with our emotions someway. Truly a out of box concept for the readers. Thanks for the insightful review!

Latest Review: The Artificial Intelligence Rights and Responsibilities Act” by Alton Booth

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

This book seems useful to awaken the innate creativity that we all had as children or youngsters. Another striking aspect is that it helps you expand your imagination and remember childhood fantasies. I like that it uses words that readers are familiar with, as it helps understand what the author is attempting to convey.
