Synopsis
Beat quarantine boredom with this sweet and funny picture book. Perfect for keeping kids entertained when trapped indoors. Fern's Nanna has not been herself of late. And when Mum remarks that all the joy seems to have gone out of her life, Fern decides to fetch the joy back. With her catching-kit at the ready, she goes to the park and finds joy in all sorts of unusual places. Whooooshh! But Fern soon realises that joy doesn't fit in a bag, or a box or a tin! How will she manage to bring some back to Nanna? Emotional, funny and uplifting, this beautiful picture book has a strong message about empathy and maintaining loving relationships with our grandparents. Guaranteed to bring a bit of joy into every reader's life, this story is a pure delight. See the other titles in the trilogy: HOPE by Corrinne Averiss and Sebastien Pelon (2019) LOVE by Corrinne Averiss and Kirsti Beautyman (2020)
