About This Book
In Eva's Big Sleepover, part of the popular Branches Owl Diaries series, young readers join Eva the owl as she plans her exciting "hatchday" sleepover. The fun is threatened when her friend Sue expresses reluctance to come, revealing she has first-sleepover jitters. Eva, a kind and observant friend, takes it upon herself to understand Sue's worries and help her find the courage to participate. This charming chapter book, presented in a diary format with engaging illustrations, gently explores themes of friendship, empathy, and overcoming new fears. It's ideal for children aged 6-9 who are navigating social situations and learning about bravery.
It's almost Eva's birthday, and she can't wait for her super-special sleepover. But one of her friends, Sue, doesn't seem to want to come. It won't be right without her there! Does Sue really not want to come? Or could she be having first-sleepover jitters? Eva will need to help Sue tackle her fear in time for the big party!
