Imagine If…
Ingredients for Creating Your Own Stories
Created by Speech-Language Pathologist Karen Halpern, this book gets children creating, rather than simply listening to someone else’s story.
Children become the storytellers as they mix together characters, places, and items to create wonderfully unexpected stories that are entirely their own.
A story might be funny.
It might be impossible.
It might change halfway through.
That’s the point. There is no perfect story waiting to be discovered. There is simply an invitation to imagine.
Why Families Love Imagine If…
Storytelling encourages children to:
• use their imagination and creativity
• develop language and vocabulary
• organize and connect ideas
• practice flexible thinking
• build confidence expressing their own thoughts
• share laughter, conversation, and connection with others
And because every story can be different, Imagine If… can be enjoyed again and again.
