Picture Book Prompt 91

“The desire of monks and mystics is not unlike that of artists: to perceive the extraordinary within the ordinary by changing not the world but the eyes that look.” —Jane Hirshfield

Children naturally experience the world with “eyes that look.” And they can help adults do the same. Learning to look at the world with new eyes is the work of picture book writers too. What do you see in your world that you would like to see afresh? See in a way that is raw and honest and true. Write about that.
