What it's about:
A girl tries to prove to a potato that kids art NOT boring.
What I love:
I absolutely love the illustrations in I'm Bored!
The simple drawings of the girl and potato on a white background convey an awesome variety of facial expressions and emotions.

I also love how artfully the illustrations communicate the girl is using her imagination.
And, it's just plain funny.
The kind of funny that got as many chuckles from my 1st graders as my 6th graders.
Only problem... the reenacting!
Some teachers are getting confused by the students now walking up to me saying "I'm Bored!"
My response, "Hey, there's a Flamingo!"
Don't miss the adorable I'm Bored Music Video:
