I'm (Almost) Never Bored

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A wonderful story about a BORED little girl, deprived of screen time, who learns to have fun with her imagination.

I'm (Almost) Never Bored begins with a little girl exclaiming, "I'm BORED!" after her screen time is cut short. "That's great!" her dad responds with a grin. "Being bored comes right before having a Really Good Idea." After an initial protest, the little girl dives into her imagination, taking readers on a whirlwind ride of pure fun.

In this delightful adventure, a cardboard box transforms into a magical train, the washing machine inspires an imaginary trip into space, a scribbly doodle becomes a hungry spaghetti monster, and ants in the garden lead her to an escapade in the Funny Bug Circus.

In a world where children can find entertainment at the touch of a button, it's ever-more important for them to have time to be bored. It is through boredom that they find the space to come up with their own Really Good Ideas.
