Kids Make it Better - Softcover

Ask a kid a question, and you never know what will tumble out. Here, from bestselling author and brilliant child-at-heart Suzy Becker, is a marvellously interactive way to involve kids in the challenges of life, from what to do about the ozone layer to how to mend a broken heart. Surprising, imaginative, funny, wise, THE KIDS MAKE IT BETTER BOOK is a pure delight, combining a "kids say the darndest things" and Children's Letters to God humour with a greater goal: that of teaching kids the value of being engaged. Each "problem" begins with a spread that asks a question and gives one or more solutions from children-illustrated in whimsical full-colour drawings by the author. Then the reader is presented with two pages of fill-ins, prompts, and a space to draw his or her own ideas.
