With all of the modern-day distractions, kids may find it challenging to tap into their creativity. Not to mention how difficult it may be for you, as a parent, to inspire it. Luckily, there’s a little creative mind that will sprinkle just the right dose of imagination!

This heartwarming children’s book is all about celebrating the magic of creativity, inspiring the designers of tomorrow. Lily, a young girl with an imagination stretching as far as the eye can see, discovers how transforming her space can be a true reflection of her one-of-a-kind personality.

Through a compelling story and captivating illustrations, Lily will help your little one see themselves as a creative designer, a genius thinker, and a master problem-solver!

“Lily grinned. A home should feel like the people who lived in it." — Lily, The Little Designer


Why Lily’s Creative Journey Matters — As much as they love imagining and creating worlds of their own, kids also love to be in control. When they’re heard and seen, and can express their creativity without a single limit standing in the way, they’re practically unstoppable! 

But, becoming this creative mind requires a dedicated space for it – and the kid’s room is the perfect starting point!

Lily, the Little Designer, will help your child turn their ideas into reality, using their room as a blank canvas. In a world where uniqueness and creativity are fading away, they’ll be inspired to push their imagination beyond limits, making them confident to take on more design challenges!

Inside Lily, the Little Designer, you’ll find:

  • Sweet and relatable illustrated story about personal expression through design

  • Vibrant illustrations that are sure to inspire curiosity

  • Creative ideas and tips about styling

  • Encouraging messages to celebrate uniqueness and your kid’s personal style

Lily, the Little Designer is an absolute delight! My daughter couldn’t put it down—she’s already rearranged her room twice, inspired by Lily’s imaginative style. This story sparkles with creativity and gentle life lessons about confidence and collaboration.

As a Mom, I’m always on the lookout for books that blend design and moral principles with heart. Lily’s journey shows kids that great ideas start small and grow with confidence. The watercolor illustrations are stunning, and our young readers felt empowered to dream and create just like Lily!
