“No one looks just like me or thinks just like I do.” A young child reflects upon the importance of time to imagine, think, and enjoy being by himself. A beautifully-designed jacket and endpapers introduce and conclude this carefully made book illustrated with drawings and paintings in blue, green, brown and rose hues. The author/artist grew up in Racine and developed this book when he was a freshman at UW-Madison. (Up to 9 years)
