What Do You Do With a Problem?

Theoretically, in any picture book, the illustrations are for the kids and the text is for the adults. But, even as an adult, we tend to appreciate certain picture books for the life lessons they give our kids (and for us, adults)! In my opinion, these 2 are picture books in this category. These 2 books raise the bar and tell each one of us to fix our expectations of what a picture book can accomplish.

Title: What Do You Do With a Problem?

Author: Kobi Yamada

Illustrator: Mae Besom

Publisher: Compendium

🌈 A small dark cloud is looming over a little boy's head. It follows the boy wherever he goes. The boy tries to avoid it and ignore it - but nothing works and in fact, the cloud grows bigger. The only way to get rid of the problem is to face it head-on. This is a very important lesson for kids and adults alike. Even adults struggle in life and worry a lot. However, we have to understand that every problem is just an opportunity that we get in life through which we can learn, become more brave, and grow.

The illustrations in this book are mind-blowing and beautiful - yes, I mean it! The pictures start from a darker color spectrum and become lighter and brighter as the boy faces the problem and the storm moves away.

📚 Beautiful imagination, creativity, and inspiration.

📚 Both books are simple enough for a child to read on their own. (However, it would be excellent if the parent and child read it together!)

📚 Perfect for kids ages 4+
