The Pink Refrigerator-A Book About a Spark Station, Of Sorts!
Sunday, 7 June, 2026
I received this email in the early days of teaching parents how to use The Spark Station. "You may have seen this. It's a picture book called The Pink Refrigerator by Tim Egan. This illustrates the secret of the Spark Station in an inspiring way. A junk dealer who likes to do–not much–finds a pink refrigerator that holds something new for him every day, and he gets excited about life and learning, closes shop, and sets off to explore the world. I thought you might enjoy this if you hadn't seen it. Happy reading, Cathy D." I was intrigued, so I went to the library and found the book. Cathy's description was spot on. The Pink Refrigerator is the Spark Station. It's a beautiful story about how we can inspire children to explore things that might not have occurred to them before. Today, I am sharing a personal experience of how experiencing new things can help children find the greatness inside themselves.
