From the writers of "Lucy's Blue Day" and "Lucy's Diary""Your Journal" is an over 100-page diary specifically designed to help the reader write down their thoughts and feelings and reflect on each moment they felt red, purple, green or blue or any other colour they choose to add - we like orange for grumpy, or pink for embarrassed or shy. Each page starts with an inspirational quote "Your Journal" is an extension of the original story "Lucy's Blue Day" - a charming picture book about a girl with colour-changing hair that reflects her emotions. When she's angry, her hair goes red; when she's feeling jealous, it's green; when she's excited, it's purple, and one day she wakes and her hair is dark blue - a feeling she's never felt before. We follow how Lucy explores this new feeling and how she is helped to process feeling sad. Our aim is to help children identify their emotions, understand that it's ok to feel them, and help them process each one as they go through their journal journey.
There's a world of adventure in Lucy's backyard, once she learns how to look at it. On a day without friends and activities, Lucy reluctantly heads to her backyard, where her curiosity takes hold and her vivid imagination is stoked. She discovers a busy world, makes some unexpected friends, and learns that Nature is anything but quiet. Lucy's Quiet Day, by Lisa Sirkis Thompson, author of Lucy's Mask, helps kids understand that alone time can be fun. In a hectic society, when kids are increasingly involved in programmed activities, it's important for them to learn that quiet days can be satisfying. And in a crisis like the pandemic, when quarantine suddenly forces quiet days on everyone, these skills are more important than ever. Unstructured time has been shown to help build resilience, creativity and confidence in kids, and helps them work through real world problems. Quiet days outdoors can help kids make connections with Nature. Lucy's Quiet Day is a story that parents, grandparents and teachers can use to gently bring this positive message to reading time.
When Maisy and friends have a special day for races and competitions, it’s not about winning or losing — the fun is in playing the games. Join Maisy and her pals for Field Day! First is the egg-and-spoon race (oops, Eddie’s egg is a little too wobbly). No problem, there are lots more games to play — a wheelbarrow race, a three-legged race, and even a get-dressed-up-silly race. When it’s time to play ringtoss, Eddie’s trunk comes in handy, and in the relay race, Maisy and Charley run as fast as they can. Last of all comes a great big game of tug-of-war, where both teams fall down laughing at the end!
