Written by Donna Giraud & Illustrated by Mackenzie Drescher
What if one painting - and one brave question - unlocked a world of beautifully different answers in every direction?
Tell Me What You See begins with a moment small and true:
One gentle question - do you see the same as I do?
The painting stays the same, yet the answers drift and roam,
Each child finding meaning in a way that’s all their own.
This wonderful adventure teaches young readers (and maybe even adults) that every idea is bright, and seeing differently can feel just right.
In this lyrical and heart-opening story, young Mackenzie proudly shares her painting with her mom—only to discover that her mom sees something completely different than she does. Curious and brave, she sets off to ask her friends the same simple question: “Tell me what you see? With each answer, the painting transforms, revealing bold, surprising, and beautifully unique interpretations.
Told in playful rhyme and rich with imagination, this story gently shows children that there is no single “right” way to see art—or the world. Differences become something to celebrate, not correct. Creativity becomes something to trust, not question.
For children, this book builds confidence, creativity, and self-expression.For parents and caregivers, it opens the door to meaningful connection and conversation.
Through original hand-painted watercolour illustrations, together, you’ll explore new perspectives, celebrate different ways of seeing, and rediscover the joy of simply asking:
Tell me what you see?
