About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling frustrated by a mistake or when a rainy day has left them restless and seeking a creative spark. It is the perfect remedy for a 'broken' item or a ruined drawing, showing how a flaw can actually be a portal to something new. The story follows a young girl who discovers a hole in her pocket, which expands into a literal hole in the ground that she falls through. This leads to a whirlwind journey through various landscapes and encounters, ultimately returning her home with a new perspective. It is a brilliant tool for teaching cognitive flexibility and the joy of imaginative play. Suitable for ages 4 to 8, this book transforms the concept of 'losing' something into 'finding' an entire world. Parents will appreciate the way it encourages children to look at everyday problems with a sense of wonder rather than disappointment.
