Synopsis

A crushed Spin-a-Lin-a-Lingo. A fumbled Chicka Licka Woo-Dee-Hoo. A smashed Three-Handled Tea Tippy! Vivalina Vole just can't find a safe place to work on her art projects. Creative children from 4 to 14 will nod their heads in understanding.

What's a young DIY'er to do? With a little help from her beloved Auntie Vi, Vivalina discovers a solution that grows her experiences with patience, disappointment, nature, and working together. All while growing her own magnificent studio!

Bonus content: Empower your own creativity with a friendly guide to growing and decorating a gourd of your own, from the Empress of Gourdlandia herself.

This picture book is richly illustrated in original watercolor, with scenes both natural and fanciful. It's perfect for maker kids, lovers of gourds, gardening grandparents, fanciers of wordplay, families with twins (find Vim and Vigor on each page), and gift-givers looking for a fun and informative story. Written in honor of her favorite vegetable, the author makes no secret of her ploy to get the entire world growing gourds.
