Description
In the middle of the night, Finn wakes up with something buzzing around in their head. It isn’t heavy like a worry, it doesn’t swirl like fear, and it isn’t shaped like a question. It’s something more exciting—an idea!
The next day at school, Finn shares the idea with friends, who nurture it and help shape it into something even more fantastic. But not everyone is excited about Finn’s idea. When a bully knocks it to the ground, Finn begins to doubt the idea. And as Finn’s doubt grows, their idea shrinks. But just before the idea disappears, Finn realizes that it’s exactly as it should be! Confidence renewed, Finn shares the idea with more kids, who add their own thoughts until the idea flows—and even the bully becomes inspired to contribute.
Grounded in childhood curiosity and helmed by a gentle, inquiring main character, this story about the power of ideas fosters creativity, perseverance, inclusion, and a collaborative spirit.

Hold That Thought! by Bree Galbraith is fantastic! I cannot wait to use this in the classroom library, as a read aloud, and a mentor text. The illustrations were just beautiful and I absolutely loved that the main character uses gender neutral pronouns. This would be a great book to support community and creative thinking in the classroom.

Beautifully illustrated showing what can happen when you share ideas and spark creativity. Love this books for educators, parents and little ones.

I loved this book! It uses inclusive pronouns and it talks about how an idea starts and grows into something bigger. I love that you never learn what the idea is, you just get to use your imagination.
Lindsey L, Reviewer
This is a sweet little story about a child who has a thought and learns how to nurture their creativity and inspiration, even in the face of adversity and judgment from others. I really liked the message about sharing your ideas and letting your creativity flow, and I especially like that the main character is non-binary. I love to see positive, diverse representation!
