Candlewick Books

An ode to imagination and the power of “if,” this exhilarating poetry collection features the voices of thirty-one diverse poets.

Sua’s charming mixed-media illustrations, which make wonderful use of collage, echo and extend the poets’ imagery, depicting oft-joyous children with varied skin tones and hair textures. A fresh, appealing anthology that celebrates the freedom inherent in possibility. —Kirkus Review

This hopeful poetry collection edited by The Mistakes That Made Us collaborators Latham and Waters examines how one builds self-confidence through adventure (and a little bit of magic). —Publisher's Weekly
