Overview

What are you doing?
By: Patricia A. Trader
Illustrated By: Kellie Dyjak-Chouinard

"What are you doing?" is a question we hear often when caring for small children. The tendency is for adults to answer in the realm of reality, but children live in the realm of imagination.

What Are You Doing? reminds adults to revisit that precious realm and use it every day. Just because you ARE washing dishes doesn't mean you have to BE washing dishes.

Have adventures in menial tasks; explore foreign lands in your own backyard or living room. The imagin-NATION is vast and exciting, so explore it fully.
