A Thought-Provoking Story About Choices, Dreams, and the Power of Every Moment.

After a storm leaves their park in ruins, Lil Peter and his friends are more interested in fun and games than in helping with the cleanup—until their school principal makes them an unexpected offer. It’s a challenge too captivating to ignore, one that sparks wild ideas, big dreams, and exciting possibilities.

But as their imaginations run free, something still doesn’t feel quite right. What are they missing?

Packed with humor, heart, and an eye-opening discovery, What If, Lil Peter, What If? will inspire young readers to dream boldly, think deeply, and realize the greatest gift they have to make a difference is... themselves.

Perfect for kids ages 3-10, parents, and educators looking for a meaningful story with an empowering message. This book invites young minds to dream big, think deeper, and discover the magic hidden in everyday moments.

Bios:

Peter Valdez III and his wife, Tasche Laine (a multi-genre author), collaborated on their first children’s book, Get Up, Lil Peter. Get Up!, to pay tribute to Peter’s grandfather. The oldest of 29 grandchildren, Peter was nicknamed ‘Lil Peter’ to differentiate him from his father and grandfather. Each story in the series is told with a message or lesson that affected Peter’s life as a child and grounded him as an adult.

Peter was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with Tasche and their pups, Story and Page. He still enjoys playing soccer every chance he gets.

Mei Mei Leonard is an Oregonian illustrator and animator. She graduated from PNCA (Pacific Northwest College of Art) in 2020 with a BFA in animation.

Although her work is primarily digital, she has a great fondness for traditional pencils and inks. She enjoys fairytales and general childhood whimsy in the things she draws, but is not one to shy away from serious topics.

What If Lil Peter What If?

Written By Peter Valdez III and Tasche Laine

Illustrated By Mei Mei Leonard 

First, I want to thank Peter Valdez III, Tasche Laine and Mei Mei Leonard for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Peter Valdez III, Tasche Laine and Mei Mei Leonard are back again with their 10th children’s book What If?  Lil Peter What If? I have been with Lil Peter’s journey throughout this series and see him grow up in his books. This one out of all of them is by far my favorite. It has so many important messages that are not only great for children but adults as well. For me personally there was a special message at the end of the book that I took away from it. 

This book will get your kids thinking and expanding their mind about the bigger picture out there. Maybe it could form a discussion at home between you both at home. 

Not only has the story grown but Mei Mei’s drawings have evolved with the characters as well. As I have said before, the three of them make a great team. I look forward to seeing more adventures in the future! Congrats on your 10th book!
