Description
What if peek-a-boo isn't just a game, but a sensory 'jump-scare' where adults literally cease to exist?
For brand new humans, the world lacks permanence—if they can’t see or hear it, it’s gone! During peek-a-boo, each time you hide your face; it vanishes, every time you move your hands, it’s a miracle worthy of laughter, astonishment or fear.
Where Does The World Go When I Close My Eyes? steps into the point-of-view of Kerry, a baby in their crib. Written with bedtime rhymes like your mom used to bake, perfect for reading aloud. This assortment of related scenes captures the fanciful ways a child’s mind fills in the gaps during a blink-—From a world made of sandcastles eroding in the surf to a team of Gnomes and their moving company, lifting the nursery scenery right out the door.
Underneath these playful, surreal vignettes runs an intriguing thread: what if Kerry's strange imaginings are actually happening?
Complete with a poignant, scientific summary for parents on the development of object permanence and mirror self-recognition. This book bridges the gap between a toddler's wonder and an adult's nostalgia. It is Goodnight Moon meets Inception—a perfect addition to any library that will have parents smiling and children giggling at the delightful philosophical mystery of where the world goes when you close your eyes.
