Sozi is a very creative little girl whose head is swarming with hundreds of ideas. We learn that "some were simple and smart, others silly and surprising. The newest idea was always the best. She loved every one of them more than the rest."

But alas, when she decides to begin, to make a work of art, her wandering mind refuses to stay focused on the task at hand. Soon all her ideas flee the scene leaving her unhappy and unfulfilled.

The real challenge facing imaginative children is to stick with their creative endeavors and see them through to the end. It is very easy to make plans and much more difficult to follow through on them.

Perseverance is a big word for small children — this book is designed for those in kindergarten through grade 2 — but it is one that provides the spiritual energy propelling this celebration of creativity, imagination, and books.
