Make Magic! Do Good!
“An uplifting read, a little wonder that speaks of the magic and good in everyone and the importance of following one’s dreams.” —School Library Journal

A boy with a beard tries to stay six forever. A monster who is frightful lives a million miles away, but is equally scared of you. A magic rope hangs from the sky, next to a sign saying Give me a try. In this brightly illustrated selection of playful, often provocative poems, ideas run the gamut from slowing your lightning-fast running in order to let others keep up to imagining a store that sells never-before-made colors to admitting you’ll never know all the answers (and sleeping better at night for it). Dallas Clayton’s quirky, captivating collection makes it clear that this talent, whose work has evoked comparisons to Maurice Sendak and Shel Silverstein, exudes a spirit and style all his own.
