In her room, a little girl can be anything she wants to be and go anywhere she wishes to go, all with the power of her imagination (and paper, markers, and crayons, of course!).

She can go on safari or sail the seven seas. She can be a doctor or a teacher. The sky’s the limit!

Be an explorer but beware of the crocodiles!

Be a race car driver!

Be a princess!

Head to your office and type on your keyboard and answer the phone!

Be a veterinarian and bandage a kitty!

Play guitar in a band!

Or just head to the beach.

With an imagination, anything is possible.

And when the day is over, she can become a little girl again, safe in her room. Like the classic Where the Wild Things Are, author Jo Witek and illustrator Christine Roussey’s In My Room is a sweet interactive picture book celebrating imagination as a means to try on different identities and work through difficult emotions, all while having fun.

With charming text, bright full-color illustrations, and irresistible die-cut shapes that allow readers to peek through to the next page, the Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a toddler’s emotional development, from conquering fears and expressing feelings to welcoming a new sibling.
