ELF: Picture Your Dreams cover. Elf walks with his sketchbook from a shadowed factory toward a bright world of art and imagination.

For the dreamer in all of us.

THE STORY

He was made for
more than tall shelves.

In a factory full of elves, the tallest one spends his days stacking boxes. But when the lunch bell rings, he reaches for his sketchbook instead.

Others see a basketball player. A model. Someone who already fits their picture of success. Elf sees something else entirely.

With a friend's encouragement — and the courage to begin — he sets out to turn a love of drawing into a life of his own making.

A PEEK INSIDE

It starts with
a little imagination.

Step into Elf’s world.
These are pages from the book.

Elf sits on a stone bench drawing in his sketchbook while other elves gather nearby. The page reads: But Elf found a quiet place, opened his sketchbook, and began to draw.
01A quiet place to dream.
A flying whale, sailing ships, a castle, and fantastic creatures fill Elf’s imagined world.
02A world waiting to be drawn.
David encourages Elf outside the factory: Well, David said, you love to draw. Why not go to art school? You could become an even better artist—and meet people who dream the way you do.
03A friend who sees the artist.
“When everyone else told Elf
what his future ought to be,
Elf picked up his pencil
and pictured his own dream.”

BEHIND THE SKETCHBOOK

A story close
to its creator.

Eman Faulkner

Artist. Designer. Storyteller.

ELF began with Eman's own initials, and a story he wrote not long after college. It grew out of a belief that runs through all of his creative work: there is something worth pursuing in the things we love to make.

Now, that story is an invitation — for young readers to trust their imagination, and for the grown-ups beside them to help it grow.
