4.0

This book, dedicated to, "anyone who has ever stared helplessly at a blank page" is about what happens when someone whose brain is full of ideas suddenly doesn't have an idea for the first time. So she goes looking for one by helping others, admiring other builders, playing, brainstorming, researching great ideas and more. She tries to do anything and it doesn't work, so she takes a break. She even goes and gets new supplies to make herself a new idea! When she worries that she may never have an idea again, she gets the most magnificent idea.

This is another charming book that fans of The Most Magnificent Thing will love The illustrations show a lot of personality in the character and add to the playful nature of the text. The story is perfect for aspiring engineers, inventors, writers, artists, and anyone else who may find that they don't always have an idea when you want one. It also provides many great options to help someone come up with an idea.

This book is a fantastic addition to bookshelves to encourage children to go into STEM or even just to continue being creative.
