Wreck This Picture Book

  • Wreck This Picture Book

  • What if there were a book that changed every time you read it?

    Actually, every book does this. We are all part of the books we read, because our individual reactions, ideas, and emotions make the book whole, and these things are changing all the time.

    Keri Smith has helped millions of people free their creativity and find their own voice with her interactive books, and now she brings that sensibility to children and to the act of reading. This picture book is an invitation to honour your own vision and to welcome imperfection. Kids will discover that reading can engage all five senses, and that what they themselves bring to a book is an important contribution. (And of course they'll be invited to do a bit of harmless wrecking!)

    Praise for Keri Smith:

    A conceptual artist and author luring kids into questioning the world and appreciating every smell, texture and mystery in it." --TIME

    "Keri Smith may well be the self-help guru this DIY generation deserves." --The Believer

    "Not gonna lie, this is probably the coolest journal you'll ever see. . . . Wreck This Journal is here to inspire you." --BuzzFeed

    "Smith pushes kids (and adults) to break convention by seeing the world as inspiration, rather than simply 'things.'" --GeekDad (of The Pocket Scavenger)
