An endearing and fun celebration of imagination and curiosity as a young girl imagines a world where everyone has a home, animals have tea parties instead of fights, and tree-house ice cream shops will be a thing.


When I redraw the world, rainbows will be the type you can walk on...

In pages bursting with joy, a young child imagines a world where everyone has a home, tree-house ice cream shops are a thing, and you can always find a kind elephant in case you need to reach something high. And when a dog does something great, tennis-ball confetti will immediately erupt--dogs everywhere will rejoice!

This endearing and vibrant celebration of curiosity and imagination will spark conversation and laughter. If you could redraw the world, where would you start?

Critic reviews

"A lighthearted prompt for readers to consider their own worldviews and wishes. A pleasant exercise in 'What if?'" —Kirkus Reviews

"Via a confident protagonist; crisp, whimsical line art; and a large cast of kid and animal characters, Vernick and Fox suggest that the most radical optimism might just be found in a child’s crayon box." —Publishers Weekly

"An exuberant and friendly invitation to go ahead and dream (and draw) about one’s own version of a perfect world." —The Bulletin

"A fun book that children will take to with ease." —Booklist

"A terrific picture book that will work in many kinds of units for many types of readers, asking hard questions while also making problems surmountable." —School Library Journal
