Consider Going Places by Paul A. Reynolds, Peter H. Reynolds.
“Going Places reads like a tidy read-aloud about creativity under pressure: a neighborhood gocart contest hands every kid the same kit while one child, Maya, takes a different route. The book's chief value is an encouraging image-driven case for imagination and making over copying — its illustrations give the gaps energy and invite play. The main limitation is narrative thinness: adults looking for nuance about competition, process, or concrete 'how-to' guidance may find the story too schematic and emotionally neat.”
