About THE WONDER OF UNDER

Published by Designed2Glow Publishing, THE WONDER OF UNDER is a picture book for ages three to six.

Children love to explore and wonder. This engaging book will springboard their imaginations about the places they can go and the things they can do – in real life and in their imaginations.

The main character, Paxton, begins a curious journey through his house in hopes of finding treasures of various sorts hidden underneath the rug, couch, and bed. Initially, he isn’t thrilled with what he finds. For example, an unimpressive sponge hides under the couch.

But in the end, he discovers that with a little imagination, he is able to create a treasure after all.
