I'm (Almost) Never Bored Anna Milbourne Illustrated by Asa Gilland

I'm BORED!" wails a little girl after her screen time is cut short.

"That's great!" her dad says with a grin. "Being bored comes right before having a Really Good Idea."

After an initial protest, the little girl dives into her imagination, and takes the reader with her on a whirlwind ride of pure fun.

A cardboard box becomes a magical train, the washing machine inspires an imaginary trip into space, a scribbly doodle becomes a hungry spaghetti monster, and ants in the garden lead her into an escapade in the Funny Bug Circus.

In a world where children can find entertainment at the touch of a button, it's ever-more important that they have time to be bored - because that's where they have the space to come up with their own Really Good Ideas.
