# Emily's Idea - Hardcover

by **Christine Evans** (Author), **Marta Álvarez Miguéns** (Illustrator)

**How a simple creative act spreads a message of love and acceptance around the world?**

_Emily's idea started small. Many beautiful ideas do._  
_She folded, doodled, and snipped._  
_But also, like many ideas, Emily's small idea grew._

When a little girl decides to create a paper chain of dolls, her idea catches on. Then it spreads far and wide as children around the world begin to create and share their own. This is the story of how that girl makes it happen.

_For readers ages 4 to 8._  
_Includes a make-your-own page to help you get started on your own paper doll chains._
