An endearing and fun celebration of imagination and curiosity as a young girl imagines a world where everyone has a home, animals have tea parties instead of fights, and tree-house ice cream shops will be a thing.


When I redraw the world, rainbows will be the type you can walk on...

In pages bursting with joy, a young child imagines a world where everyone has a home, tree-house ice cream shops are a thing, and you can always find a kind elephant in case you need to reach something high. And when a dog does something great, tennis-ball confetti will immediately erupt--dogs everywhere will rejoice!

This endearing and vibrant celebration of curiosity and imagination will spark conversation and laughter. If you could redraw the world, where would you start?
Audrey Vernick writes fiction and nonfiction for young readers. A three-time recipient of the New Jersey Arts Council's writing fellowship, Audrey's books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. She lives near the ocean with her family.

Heather Fox is an illustrator and graphic designer, creating art in pen and ink, digital, and gouache. She is the illustrator of several funny picture book including the Llama trilogy by Jonathan Stutzman that was praised in a starred review from The Bulletin for the Center for Children’s Books saying ““The goofy premise itself will elicit giggles, but it’s innocently wide-eyed Llama who really sells the silliness of the story.”

Heather lives in Lititz, Pennsylvania, with her husband, the writer Jonathan Stutzman.
