Adventures of Nino & Tenna: Picture THIS! Imagine THAT!

“Picture THIS! Imagine THAT!” is a story about creativity and play, and all the fun to be had from using your imagination.

Listen to a preview of this story!

When our story creator (and my son) Ethan first told me this story about his favorite imaginary character Nino taking pictures of all the animals he saw, he was naming all of these animals that you wouldn’t typically see in a forest setting. But Ethan was adamant that Nino was seeing them! It took me a few minutes, then I thought, “Of course! I just need to use my imagination!” After that, we were off to work on this story.

In “Picture THIS! Imagine THAT!” Nino has a tough time convincing his sister Tenna about all the WILD animals he saw during a walk in the woods. So it’s a good thing he had his camera with him to take pictures. Looking at Nino’s photos, Tenna doesn’t quite see exactly what he is describing…until she starts to PLAY along and use her imagination! You won’t believe it until you see it with your own eyes!

If your child likes stories that capture their imagination and inspire their creativity, then they will LOVE sharing this story with you!

About Forest Explorer

This was a story my son Ethan told me about his imaginary friend named Nino. He had a lot of stories about Nino, and Nino’s sister Tenna, and this one really captured my attention. Ethan was so excited about the story he was telling me, and I could almost see the gears turning in his little brain. He came up with a real gem, and so I surprised him by turning it into a real book that he could read and share with his friends and family.
