THE IMAGINARIES: LITTLE SCRAPS OF LARGER STORIES

THE IMAGINARIES: LITTLE SCRAPS OF LARGER STORIES by Elizabeth Winfield Martin

The Imaginaries: Little Scraps of Larger Stories by Emily Winfield Martin (author of Snow and Rose) is a book to ignite the imagination. Martin uses a whimsical watercolor picture and a simple sentence to begin the idea of a story that could be launched a million different ways by a child. In our homeschool we always meet at the beginning of our day for prayer, scripture, and reading of some sort. From my oldest to my youngest they enjoy coming up with an explanation of the picture during that time. We keep it lighthearted, and it is always so interesting how each child will come up with a different idea for what is happening! It's a fun activity for sparking the imagination!
