A Favorite Excerpt
One of my favorite moments? Naomi imagining herself in a candy-colored dreamland:
“She imagines she is sitting on a cloud, trying to eat the jumbo lollipop, her hands are all sticky with candy.”
It’s a small snapshot, but it captures exactly why this book will resonate with young readers—it’s fun, immersive, and utterly childlike in the best way.

My Thoughts on Naomi's Imagination
Books like Naomi’s Imagination are the kind I love sharing with parents, caregivers, and educators—stories that encourage little minds to dream big even in the most ordinary of moments. Naomi is such a relatable and joyful character. Who among us hasn’t daydreamed through a long car ride?
The illustrations burst with color and movement, which makes this book especially fun to read aloud or explore during quiet time. Plus, the interactive questions throughout are a brilliant touch—they gently invite readers to join in on the imaginative fun.
Best of all, Naomi’s Imagination encourages representation and celebrates self-expression, making it a meaningful (and fun!) addition to any home or classroom library.
