Synopsis

Vibrant picture book about the first day of school describes a beautiful world where everyone feels they belong.

Feeling that you belong and that the world around you is comforting and safe is important in a child's social emotional development. And there's no time like the first day of school to have a child question these feelings. With her vibrant and positive picture book, Just Imagine a More Beautiful World, poet and author Christine McDonald brings young readers a story that celebrates new experiences and the beauty of the world around us.

The playful story involves a thought-provoking classroom assignment given to young students on their first day of school by their teacher, Mrs. Burns. The task is for each child to make their own world, where everyone belongs, using cardboard and all the colors of the rainbow-and to make sure there is a door so that they can always find their way back to their heart...the safest place to be.

With striking prismatic spreads featuring precious animal characters and a heartwarming text, the story celebrates the first day of school, its challenges and surprises, of belonging and making the world a better place. Families and educators of young children will welcome a book that paves the way for a promising start to a young child's new school year.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Poet and author Christine McDonald wrote a poem called "What happened the day you were absent from Kindergarten," and her childhood dream blossomed into Just Imagine a More Beautiful World, a magical book celebrating the wonder of being a child and the comfort and peace of feeling that you belong in the world.Christine was inspired by her own very first day of school and all of the unknowns and challenges that accompany it. Also the author of two published books of poetry, Christine writes on the edge of discomfort to explore it more deeply to learn more about herself and the world around her. Having grown up in the wilds of Montana on a cattle ranch, she is full of amazing childhood experiences in nature that have been integrated into her writings. With an education and career in plant and soil science, Christine worked for twenty years as a forest soil scientist for the United States Forest Service. She now works as an environmental consultant and believes that writing poetry has helped to see herself as a soul scientist as well. When she isn't writing inspiring poems and stories for children, Christine enjoys hiking, gardening, spending time with friends, cooking, yoga, meditation, quilting and traveling. She lives with her husband and their dog Toby on eight acres in the Palouse Hills of eastern Washington, where they are working on restoring the land to its natural landscape of forest, prairie and wetlands.
