An endearing and fun celebration of imagination and curiosity as a creative young girl imagines a world where everyone has a home, animals have tea parties instead of fights, and rainbows are the kind of thing you can walk on.


When I redraw the world, no one will be hungry.
And everyone will have a home.
That seems important.

If you redrew the world, what would it look like? Tapping into the universal feeling of wishing the world could be a better place, this adorable picture book is both playful and thoughtful. It presents a vibrant world where you can always find an elephant in case you need to reach something high and fruit grows at the bottoms of trees so everyone can reach it. And because our narrator is a dog lover, she’ll need to be especially good at drawing dogs, because they will be everywhere! And when a dog sees something great, the confetti will be tennis balls – dogs everywhere will rejoice.

Readers will love seeing the silly, sweet, and often poignant desires of a young child come to life in Heather Fox’s energetic and colorful illustrations.
Audrey Vernick writes fiction and nonfiction for young readers. A three-time recipient of the New Jersey Arts Council's writing fellowship, Audrey's books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. She lives near the ocean with her family.

Heather Fox is an illustrator and graphic designer, creating art in pen and ink, digital, and gouache. She is the illustrator of several funny picture book including the Llama trilogy by Jonathan Stutzman that was praised in a starred review from The Bulletin for the Center for Children’s Books saying ““The goofy premise itself will elicit giggles, but it’s innocently wide-eyed Llama who really sells the silliness of the story.”

Heather lives in Lititz, Pennsylvania, with her husband, the writer Jonathan Stutzman.
