This is NOT your ordinary children's book - it's extraordinary! If you're looking for the standard Gingerbread Man story, this is not it.
Everyone thought the Gingerbread Man had been eaten by the fox. He wasn't. He escaped. And now he's here, in your hometown. He tries to be helpful at first, but ends up causing chaos. He's lonely, and he's going to learn he needs help to get his 'happily ever after.'
"The Gingerbread Man in Your Hometown" is for the artists, the creatives, those who like to use their imagination to have fun. Why? This adorable story has no pictures in in it, just space for drawing.
That's right - YOU get to be the illustrator! There is even a place on the front cover for you to add your (or your child's) name.
Why are there no pictures? To encourage creativity. Here are just a few benefits of creativity:
- It helps develop problem-solving skills,
- It encourages learning and innovation,
- It reduces stress and anxiety,
- It enables feelings of pride and accomplishment,
- It improves focus,
- And it's FUN!
"The Gingerbread Man in Your Hometown" is a great keepsake for children. Or give the book as a gift to a grandparent or hard-to-shop-for family member. Show off your child's artistic genius! Imagine your extended family snuggled on the couch together, reading a cute story and admiring your child's art.
Whatever you decide to do with your copy, you'll enjoy watching your child bring the story to life.
If the child in your life is too young to draw and you are the artist, you can illustrate it for the child, and it will be a beautiful keepsake for when they are older.
"The Gingerbread Man in Your Hometown" is the second in the You Draw series - a series where the reader gets to be the illustrator.
