Inventor McGregor

Reach for this book when your child feels pressured to perform in rigid environments or when they seem to do their best thinking in the middle of a beautiful, creative mess. It is an ideal choice for the child who is frequently told to 'quiet down' or 'tidy up' but whose spirit is naturally loud, joyful, and inquisitive. Hector McGregor is a brilliant inventor who creates marvelous things, but only when he is surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of his bustling home. When he is whisked away to a cold, sterile laboratory to work for the High Commissioner, his spark vanishes. This story celebrates the vital connection between our environment and our inner genius. It serves as a heartwarming reminder that a 'messy' home filled with music and family is often the most productive laboratory of all. Best for ages 4 to 8, it validates the unique ways different minds find inspiration.
