GALLOWAY, OH – The Blue Wagon, a new children’s picture book by Karen R. Sullivan, offers a narrative that combines imaginative exploration with subtle emotional themes. Aimed at children ages 6 to 8, the book seeks to foster empathy and understanding between generations.

The story centers on Heather, a young girl collecting “treasures” during a neighborhood adventure. As her blue wagon fills with rocks of various shapes and meanings, Heather begins to understand the concept of emotional weight. Dialogues with a neighbor and her mother gradually introduce the idea that both children and adults experience burdens, albeit in different forms.

Sullivan wrote the book as a creative response to contemporary childhood concerns. “Children today are often exposed to stress at an early age,” she notes. “This story encourages reflection while maintaining a tone of playfulness.”

The character Mr. Wiggledimp, described by early readers as memorable and kind, represents the book’s intergenerational connection. The illustrations were developed guided by the author’s vision of a friendly, visually rich story.

The manuscript has received favorable feedback from both publishing professionals and child test readers. The title is positioned to serve not only as a reading experience but also as a tool for educators, parents, and counselors seeking to discuss emotional awareness with young children.

Publication details, including format and availability, will be announced soon.
