Sawyer's Big Idea

by Kimberly Horch, Sayani Mukherjee (Illustrator)

Overview

Sawyer wakes up with an idea. A good idea. A great idea. A get-started-right-away idea!

He makes a sketch, a model, and gets out all his materials. And—woah, what was that? It gave him a new idea. A big idea. A colorful idea. But when it isn't quite going the way he wants, he grumps, and sulks, and—wait, what about that other project?

Sawyer flits from one activity to another throughout the day, new ideas hitting him like lightning. There's a project from yesterday, a costume for his furry sidekick, and a book or twelve he was reading, and . . . before he knows it, it's time for bed. But he can't go to bed yet! His idea isn't finished! He didn't finish one thing today! Or did he?

A sweet and affirming story for any kid who finds it hard to focus on just one task—and for the adults keeping up with them. Includes a note to readers with more information on supporting kids who struggle with attention.
