Award-winning children's author Marcus Sedgwick tells the story of kindness - where it comes from, what it feels like and perhaps most importantly why it matters - and asks YOU what you would do in different everyday scenarios.

Take a big breath in and let a big breath out is the mantra of this interactive board book that teaches conscious breathing to children (and adults) through everyday actions like smelling flowers and blowing bubbles. These identifiable activities make the concept of mindful breathing accessible to toddlers and easy to learn and practice. The interactive spread with five lift-the-flaps reinforces fundamental counting skills from 1 to 5 and the basic breathing techniques presented. The reassuring ending reminds children that everything will be okay, because when things get rough they will know to first huff and then puff.

Is the prototype half built? Is the book half written? Is the project not finished? My Idea comes alongside you as a whimsical companion and prods you with questions that help flesh out your idea until it is finally finished and ready to go out into the world. You'll start by answering big questions that build the foundation of your idea, such as "What is my idea?" and "Whom and how does my idea help?" Next, you'll zoom in closer to shape and feed your idea more specifically-"When do I want my idea to be finished?" and "Whom do I trust with my rough draft?" The hand-drawn illustrations will spark your imagination, helping you dream and create again with the childlike fearlessness that has been hiding deep inside you all along. The more you process and prepare with the help of My Idea, the more confidence and strength you'll find to finally finish your idea and release it into the wild.
