* Ellie finds a tiny dragon at the supermarket and she calls him Scratch. She plays with him at home and we realise that Scratch is an imaginary friend, as her mother can’t see him. Her friends at nursery school are able to see him, but Ellie’s teacher can’t. Ellie goes to school and leaves Scratch at home, who is growing bigger alongside her. Scratch is there through the events of Ellie’s life, including birthday parties, movie watching, and sleepovers. But things change. Scratch is not as involved in the things Ellie does, and he starts to fade. He slips away, and Ellie hardly remembers when he was with her. But then it shows Little Sam leading a full-grown Scratch down the street. | * Ellie finds a tiny dragon at the supermarket and she calls him Scratch.

+ | * A moving and visually stunning picture book that celebrates the transformative power of the creative process from inception through recognition to celebration and releasing into the world. We shadow the protagonist as she contemplates the blueprint of an idea, collects the things that inspire from the natural world to shape a bird. And breathes life into it before letting it fly free. It shows how small things, combined with a little imagination and a steady heart, can transform into works of magic. | ||
