The narrator of this inspirational picture-book about nurturing one's ideas and allowing them the space to grow unfolds the tale of his own idea, which he initially doubted, but eventually came to treasure. After attempts to abandon and then hide his idea, the boy decides the keep it with him, discovering that it enriches his life and eventually leads to wonderful things... Told in general terms - the nature of the idea remains deliberately unclear in the text, and it is depicted in the artwork as a golden egg with crown - the story here offers children an opportunity to project themselves into the story, to imagine that it is their idea (whatever that may be) that is being discussed. The accompanying illustrations by Chinese artist Mae Besom are lovely, showing the transformative potential of the idea through a gradual change from mostly black and white spreads to vibrantly colorful ones at the end. Recommended to anyone looking for inspirational stories that affirm and encourage creativity.

He decides to ignore it at first, but then it grows bigger, and he decides life is better with ideas. Although this isn't explicitly a science book, it can be read to inspire the building of ideas when it comes to inventions.amassingale

I hope he grows up to have many wonderful ideas he will nurture through to maturity! The illustrations begin with just a dab, just a hint, of color--when suddenly the book erupts in full-blown, living color!!kaulsu

The boy tries to avoid and ignore the idea, but it continues to follow him. Over time he begins to pay attention to the idea. As he grows more confidence in his idea he decides to share it, but it is criticized and not well received by others. So the boy decides to hide his idea; to protect it. More time passes and the boy sees his idea beginning to take off and grow. Before the boy knows it his idea has changed the world.Ebarclift13

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser04/21/2015LOVED THIS BOOK. It is...LOVED THIS BOOK. It is heart-warming, sentimental, touching, encouraging, and powerful to young readers and even all ages. Our character in the book has an egg with a crown on that represents his idea. He begins the story timid and afraid of his idea trying to ignore it. As the book goes on he begins to love his idea even caring for it and helping it grow. He even finds the courage in him to share his ideas with others no matter what they think. In the end he is proud of his idea and knows what to do with it now, he will change the world. The illustrator really pulls this idea all together on the pages of the book. The majority of the pages in the beginning are black and white with the egg, his idea, being the only thing in color. As the book goes on and he begins to put time and effort into his idea the egg grows bigger and brighter. Eventually on the last pages when he truly accepts and embraces his idea the whole page comes to life in vivid color and illustrations. A great, great book. One i would continually read to any class on opening day of the school year.crieder95

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser03/29/2015In my opinion this is ...In my opinion this is a great book that inspires children to pursue their ideas. The language was descriptive and well written, keeping readers engaged throughout the story. The writing was well paced and the illustrations made the story easier for readers to follow along and were also appealing to the eye. The plot was well organized and created an element of suspense keeping the reader on their toes for what this "egg" that is the littles boy's idea is going to turn into. This book pushes young children that no idea too big or too small is unobtainable or silly. It pushes children to have confidence in their ideas and to stick with them to see what they will develop into.agassa1

It is based on a very abstract thing- ideas- but is done in a way that even young students will understand it. This book flowed very easily from page to page, and the plot was very well structured. It pushes the readers to think about their own ideas and times when they have felt embarrassed or ashamed to say how they really felt. The illustrations helped to take the abstract concept and put it into more concrete terms. The big message of this story is that ideas are extremely important and all it takes is one idea to change the world. Also, it tells the reader that all of their ideas are valid and important.ehopki7
