FOR THE STUDENTS OF PARMA ELEMENTARY. DREAM BIG!
The book you hold in your hands is filled with ideas and stories created by some of my favorite authors and illustrators. Here you will find talking hats, a magic elevator, a hefty cat, and advice from beyond the grave. Each time I read through the collection, my mind is blown.
This project began with an idea: I wanted to celebrate the way ideas can be story seeds that take root and blossom. I decided to embark on an experiment and observe the way that creativity works. So I challenged forty-four childrens book creators to a crazy game of creativity. It made my heart sing when they all said yes.
Heres how the project works: First, I asked each contributor to send me two creative promptsseeds that could get the wheels of their fellow creative friends minds turning. Prompts could be poems, photographs, drawings, anything.
Then, I mailed off a mysterious package to everyone containing the two prompts that I picked for that person. They were asked to choose one and use it to inspire an awesome creation. A few weeks later, the pieces started coming in, and HOLY SMOKES! I was completely blown away. We received all sorts of fantastic contributions: short stories, comics, poems, and illustrations. Experiencing them caused me to laugh, cry, think, wonderand one even made the hairs on my arms stand up.
On the following pages, you will find all these prompts and the pieces they inspired. You will also discover a section at the end containing forty-four fresh new prompts, one from each contributor, intended for you, to inspire your own creations.
More than anything, I hope that you enjoy the Creativity Project as much as I have. But here is a warning before you go any further in this book! Chances are that while you are reading, your arm will start to wiggle. Your fingers will search for something to write with, and your brain will start thinking of what you would do if I sent the prompts in the mail to you. Dont fight the urge. Pick up a pencil, a crayon, or a marker, and create something awesome.
Get on any method of public transport (bus, subway, school bus, train, plane) with a notebook and a pen. Write down five overheard sentences from five different people. Take one of those sentences and use it as the opening line of dialogue in a very short story (five hundred words max) that is told entirely in dialogue.
I want to make myself perfectly clear. Do you understand?
Yes.
Im not sure you do. I want to make myself perfectly clear.
I understand.
I want my entire body and all of my clothing to be completely transparent. Do you understand?
What?
Look at my shoes. You can hardly see them. Do you see?
Yes, your shoes are the same color and texture as the floor of this bus, so I can hardly see them.
No, you can hardly see them because Im making myself clear.
I dont understand.
I want to make myself perfectly clear. My toes and my ankles, my socks and my shoes, even the few specks of dirt under my toenails are completely transparent.
Why are you talking about dirty toenails? Youre not making yourself clear.
Yes, I am. Look at my knees. Do you see?
No.
Exactly! You can hardly see them.
Thats because youre wearing pants that are the exact same color as the seats of this bus.
No, its because Im making myself clear.
Youre not making yourself clear.
Yes, I am. You just dont understand.
Thats what I mean.
My pants and my entire leg, including bones and muscles and skin and little hairs, are becoming entirely transparent.
Now youre talking about little hairs? I dont understand you.
Why dont you understand? Im making myself clear.
No, youre not.
Yes, I am. Now its my entire body. Im tired of being stared at. I dont want anyone to look at me because of my clothing, or the shape of my body, or the color of my skin, or my hat.
The hat is pretty ridiculous.
Well, Im making it clear.
You are?
Yes. In just a few seconds Im going to be entirely transparent. No one will stare at me ever again for any reason. Ill even stop talking, so I can make myself perfectly clear.
Why would you stop talking in order to make yourself perfectly clear?
I dont understand.
Where did you go?
