From the publisher

In this humorous story about screen-free time, a child and a boredom monster celebrate the power of noticing. Cameron is faced with a no-screens, very dreary, worst day ever. Oh, the misery! But wait … maybe there’s adventure to be found in boredom after all. When his ordinary living room transforms into the land of Boredom, Cameron wanders into a bleak landscape where everything seems terribly tedious and drowsily dull. But then a mysterious, friendly monster appears, and Cameron learns to celebrate the silence of a distraction-free world and finds his creative spark. Co-created by Mariana Ellery and Clara Reschke, this fantastical picture book is perfect for inspiring imaginative play. Reschke’s innovative mixed-media art combines photos of ordinary objects with illustrations, creating a world brimming with possibilities.
