My Imagination

Can you imagine a shoe-eating monster or a candy-growing tree? Using imagination can help children learn about the world around them. In this brightly illustrated board book, an adorable--and relatable--prickly porcupine names and describes a variety of imaginative experiences, inspiring children to think creatively and express themselves.

Author-illustrator Jeffrey Turner has worked with many autistic children and special needs children, and has seen that these children often need help in identifying what they are feeling, as they don’t always have the words to do so. He has also raised a child with special needs, who wanted to understand what he was feeling, imagined or real, and why. He used his experiences to create this book in hopes it would be a tool for all young children to understand themselves.
