Synopsis

An all-ages picture book about making ideas happen.

Sozi loves ideas. The only trouble is, she can't seem to ever finish them.

Like ""Oh the Places You'll Go"" by Dr Seuss, Her Idea is a book for both children and adults - but especially for anyone who has said ""I think I'll start tomorrow"". Told in delightfully honest rhyme (Hmm, maybe later/Not today anyway/It's such a big task/And she'd much rather play) and accompanied by vibrant illustrations, it is an inspiring story within a story about getting to THE END.

""Rilla has written an exuberant book about one of the dirty secrets of the creative process - procrastination - and she's done so with verve and style."" Steven Guarnaccia, Parsons The New School for Design

""Each page is beautifully illustrated with depth and wonder culminating in a wonderful lesson to be learned. You'll want to read this over and over.""

Deanne Cheuk

""This stunning book takes a special place on my shelves along side other classic picture books by graphic designers Paul Rand, Milton Glaser and Bruno Munari."" A Journey Round My Skull"
