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. Nature confetti—feathers, petals, stardust — will erupt and flutter when someone does something kind or generous.
When a dog does something great, the confetti will be tennis balls.

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

“Lying on their stomach, crayon in hand, a child contemplates literally redrawing the world in this hopeful picture book. 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

“The power of dreaming is explored in this hopeful picture book, wherein a young narrator decides to draw a world that they dream about, rather than the world that they are in. In this new vision, some wishes are serious—people are fed, housed, safe, and surrounded by love—while others are more whimsical—predator/prey chases end in tea parties and waterslides are the way to get down any mountain … spending more time with this book can only help inspire them to trust and flex their own imaginations.”—--The Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books

“This story showcases the wild and wondrous ways that children see good in the world and what could happen if we just put our imaginations out there. Many young readers will relate to the protagonist's whims and desires. The art, childlike and fun, features simple black linework that makes the visuals easy to see and interpret. Each spread stands on its own, taking the reader on turns they won't see coming. A fun book that children will take to with ease.” —Booklist

“A child imagines what life would be like if crayons could give things a redo … the thoughts and parlance mirror a young child’s logic and desires, like walking on rainbows. Overall, this is a lighthearted prompt for readers to consider their own worldviews and wishes.” —Kirkus Reviews
