On a Magical Do-Nothing Day

£6.99

Seemingly marooned ‘killing martians’ in the game she’s playing while Mum works and the rain sheets down outside, our lead character is bored. It’s another ‘do-nothing’ day. When Mum hides her game, the girl finds it and determines to play it outside, but the day has other plans. From snails to ponds, hills to streams, sunlight blasts, pebbles and plants, the girl discovers a world that had been hidden. She tastes and smells the day. She realises the wonder and the moment.

‘On a Magical Do-Nothing Day‘ is a glorious work of imagination, wonder and depth that we recommend to every reader, regardless of age. The sun and rain steeped pictures are punctuated by bold colours, sudden expressions and intricate discoveries. Go on! Take a tour through this ‘do-nothing’ day too!
