Can You Picture This?: You Draw It / You Say It / You Find It / You Write It

By Cheryl Ceol

For young and life experienced people alike.

Its time to use the God-given superpowers of childlike enthusiasm and playtime. In an age when we increasingly use short words and letters to text conversations, we can all use practice observing, imagining, writing, finding, and speaking. Relax and create.

YOU DRAW IT: Read the ten short stories and create the image that comes to mind.
YOU SAY IT: Follow the instructions to read the story out loud or speak about something special.
YOU FIND IT: Look for hidden pictures using the clues at the end of the stories.
YOU WRITE IT: Become your own author. Use the artists pictures and try writing your own comedy, drama, scary story

Communication and imagination is extremely important. There is no right or wrong way in this book. Just fun-filled creative ways. Its time to flex those creative muscles.

Special Note To Adults:
Its time to relax, RELAX! Breathe, smile, doodle. We are meant to enjoy life, co-create fun, good, peaceful, loving environments. Unblock an over-thinking of a problem by doodling and using these short stories to look at things from different angles. Find hidden resources for uplifting your inner creativity and mood. Enhance your ability to grasp details and understanding, take flights of fancy, laugh, and have some plain, old-fashioned fun.
