This is such a charming book about finding inspiration where you least expect it. Lizzie loves to make up stories and the attention that comes with it. After the arrival of her little brother, Marvin, the spot light shifts. Lizzie draws inspiration from her brother to create tales of nasty pirates and a vicious fish. When her brother isn’t there, she quickly realizes that although he is bothersome, he’s her greatest inspiration.
This book would be very relatable for students who have younger siblings. I think it accurately depicts the jealousy and annoyance an older sibling might feel once the attention shifts.
I also love how there is a subtle lesson in not knowing what you have until it’s gone. Marvin is her muse, but she doesn’t know it until he’s away. Sullivan does such a fantastic job of making writing appealing to children by adding small tidbits of Lizzie’s adventurous stories throughout the text. Witnessing Lizzie’s passion and enthusiasm for writing could make other children see the magic and fun of storytelling.
