“What Do You Do With An Idea?”

“What Do You Do With An Idea?” by Kobi Yamada, and illustrated by Mae Besom, is a story about a boy who thought of an idea. At first, the boy was uncomfortable with it, trying to hide it from other people. But then, as the story progresses, he becomes more confident with sharing it. Eventually the idea changes and becomes a reality. I think that the message is to not hide your ideas and if you’re passionate enough, your idea can be a reality. Personally, I could really relate to this story since there’s been countless times where I’ve given up on an idea because someone said something negative about it. I really liked how metaphorical the entire story was and I think it added a poetic vibe, I also liked how detailed the art was, it made the pictures really interesting to look at. Overall, for me, this was a really good book that I, and probably hundreds of other people could relate to.
