Description
Annie Imagines is about a girl who thinks she sees fairies but isn't sure. She turns to her grandmother for an explanation and reassurance. Through a process of presenting imaginative encounters, Grandma elevates Annie's ability to see things in a new way, allowing her creativity to soar. The Grandmother is the creative mentor in Annie's process of becoming confident. First by accepting Annie's expression of doubts and confusion over her perception of fairies. And secondly, through Grandma's ability to mirror Annie's fantastic imagination, she gently guides Annie into acceptance of her creative ability. Grandma becomes the most important relationship in Annie's artistic and imaginative development. This is the basis that builds Annie's, and any child's self-esteem, confidence, and aspiration.

What a fabulous book! The pictures are amazing, colourful and so cheerful! The text is engaging and will help students and young children develop their own sense of creativity and their imagination. This book should be compulsory for all children!
To top it all, a guide helps teachers or parents use the book and provides multiple tasks!
Thank you for this lovely story and these ideal tasks! I warmly recommend Annie Imagines!

"Annie Imagines" is a lovely children's book that captures the incredible nature of a child's imagination. With stunning illustrations, this book tells the story of a loving grandmother nurturing the creative imagination of her young granddaughter named Annie. Together they dream up a fantasy fairy world in the garden, and find images in the clouds of a man's face on the moon overlooking various animals on the grounds of a large castle. Imaginative worlds are magical places. In this book, Annie's grandmother teaches that imagination can turn ordinary things into extraordinary things, and "take you anywhere you want to go."
