I have been reluctant to return this book for imaginative children to the library. I’ve simply fallen in love with it. So, since I’m out of renewals and must return it, I’ll first share it with you.
This is Sadie by Sara O’Leary describes a day for this imaginative child. A box becomes a boat. She builds things. She visits friends in books and imagines herself in those worlds. She is never bored because of her brilliant imagination.
She leaves a few messes in her creative frenzies. But, like most creative children, she doesn’t notice them.
Your imaginative child will completely understand This is Sadie. But I hope this book also helps you understand and appreciate your imaginative child.

This looks like a great book! I have some grandchildren coming at the end of the week. I might see if my library has it. Thanks for sharing! I’m visiting from the #LMMLinkup.
I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
This looks like such a great book! Thanks for sharing. I keep having to remind myself that a clean house isn’t worth squashing my son’s creativity.
Yup, I’m in that same boat! 🙂 Cleanliness and creativity don’t always go well together.
Lovely book. important too. I loved imaging as a child; so, I totally relate to this story. As children, my siblings and I turned our pool into the Battlestar Galatica and riding lawn mower into a fighter. Thanks for sharing on the #LMMLinkup this past week!
I love that you have such vivid memories of imaginative play! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
