When Henry Caught Imaginitis

A parent might reach for this book when their imaginative child seems to live more in their daydreams than in reality, sometimes to the point of creating chaos. It's a perfect story for validating a powerful inner world while gently exploring how to manage it. The book follows Henry, a young boy whose doodles and dreams literally spring to life when he 'catches' a case of Imaginitis. His imaginary monsters cause delightful mayhem until Henry realizes his imagination isn't a sickness to be cured, but a wonderful power he can learn to control. For children ages 3 to 7, this funny, whimsical tale celebrates creativity and provides a safe, silly metaphor for big feelings and ideas that can feel overwhelming. It reassures both child and parent that a wild imagination is a gift to be channeled, not squashed.
