Thelma Louise is a paper doll with a very BIG problem...
She just had the most brilliant, sparkling, absolutely magnificent idea -
and then it disappeared.
Whoosh
Was it about cupcakes?
A kite?
A fashion trend?
Training a hamster to bobsled?
With her tabs wiggling and her bow slightly askew, Thelma Louise tries everything to remember her Very Big Idea. She changes outfits. She searches under chairs. She consults her shoe. She even flops dramatically (very gently - she is paper, after all).
But what if the idea wasn't something she was supposed to remember...
What if it was something she was supposed to try?
In this whimsical, laugh-out-loud rhyming story, children will discover that creativity doesn't have to be perfect, shiny, or loud. Sometimes the biggest idea of all is simply being brave enough to begin.
With charming paper-doll illustrations, playful imagination, and a heartwarming message about confidence, courage, and creativity, Thelma Louise and the Very Big Idea reminds young readers that trying is its own kind of brilliance.
