Day 15 Prompts:

There's a beautiful scene in Markus Zusak's novel The Book Thief during which Max, who is hiding from the Nazis in the basement of a German family's house, asks Liesel, their daughter, to tell him what her eyes see when she goes outside. What he gets is an almost magical description: the view of the world through a child's eyes, beautifully unaffected by the dark cloud of World War II looming on the horizon. This week, try to describe something through the eyes of a child. It could be a day, a landscape, an object, a person — anything with a bit of hidden magic only a child can tap into.—P&W

Use this metaphor to spark a poem or story: a chest of childhood—CWP

Write a story in which the phrase 'I don't know' occurs at least thrice, each time having a different implication or hidden meaning. —WDC
