Lily and Blue Kangaroo – a friendship forever!
Another heart warming story featuring Lily and her much-loved toy, Blue Kangaroo, from award-winning, renowned illustrator, Emma Chichester Clark.
Lily and Blue Kangaroo are the best of friends and when Lily doesn’t know what to do next she often asks, ‘What shall we do, Blue Kangaroo?’ But Blue Kangaroo doesn’t always know, so he says nothing. But one day, in a crisis, Blue Kangaroo has to work out what to do all by himself…
Blue Kangaroo, a beloved toy, feels a little left out as new toys arrive. Through gentle storytelling, children learn about the enduring nature of love and the importance of expressing emotions, fostering emotional security and self-assurance. And as Blue Kangaroo grows in confidence, so too does Lily. This is such a lovely narrative device for exploring ideas about self-confidence. What little one couldn’t relate to this?
