Che idea! by Kobi Yamada

Perhaps it's because I read What Do You Do with a Problem? first, which is great, but for me What Do You Do with an Idea? lacks gumption. It seems that if you have an idea all you have to do is wait until you have enough confidence and then your idea will change the world. This book barely addresses the need to overcome obstacles in order to bring an idea to fruition. What Do You Do with an Idea? underestimates the determination and the courage needed in the face of failure.

The illustrations are nice but I felt that the story was lacking. It was too long and didn't have much of a point. As other reviewers have mentioned, it seems that it is more for parents than children.

An imaginative picture book that perfectly captures how an idea can take hold of you and how you carry it around until you finally act on it. Spoke to me as an adult. I think it would be great for older kids as well. Love the illustrations too!

“ But then I realized what do they really know ? This is my idea, I thought. No one knows it like I do. “
