What It Could Be: A Heartwarming Picture Book About Imaginative Play and Parent-Child Connection - Hardcover

by Ellis J. Rowan (Author)

To a grown-up, it's just a cardboard box. To a child, it's only waiting to become something more.

A box arrives one ordinary morning, but the curious child who discovers it doesn't see cardboard. There are places to go, things to build, and possibilities hiding everywhere.

The grown-up sees things a little differently.

There are towels to fold. Meals to make. A phone that keeps buzzing. And, somehow, an increasingly messy trail of adventures unfolding around the house.

But the child keeps imagining. Keeps exploring. Keeps inviting the grown-up into a world where ordinary things don't have to stay ordinary.

And eventually, even a grown-up might have to wonder...

What could it be?

What It Could Be is a warm, playful picture book about imagination, presence, and the magic that can happen when children and grown-ups see the world through each other's eyes.

With expressive watercolor illustrations and a story that speaks to children and grown-ups in different ways, What It Could Be is made for ages 4-8, bedtime reading, and family story time.

Because sometimes a child doesn't need a grown-up to show them the world. Sometimes the grown-up needs the child.
