Have you heard of Lucy’s Blue Day?

This is a beautifully illustrated book aimed at addressing the mental health of children.

We have two copies of the book in school. One of which was donated by an ex Loanhead Primary pupil who is raising money to buy a book for every primary school in East Ayrshire.

About Lucy

Lucy is a very special little girl with magical hair. It changes colour with her emotions. If she is feeling happy it is purple. If she is jealous, it will turn green.
This charming story is a tale of when Lucy wakes up and her hair is blue and she doesn’t know why. She soon learns that it is #OkNotToBeOk.

“What a charming book that we are sure will help enormously”. Stephen Fry

“Such a clever, common sense and totally relatable way to talk about mental health”. Lorraine Kelly

We are very lucky to have the author Chris Duke visiting Onthank Primary on Tuesday 25th June to read the book and answer questions.

Chris is travelling from Forfar to visit us and he will visit Galston Primary and Hillhead Primary on the same day to share the same message.

He has offered parents and carers a discount code if you wish to buy a copy of the book. Our code is ONTHANK. This removes the cost of P+P. Any books ordered after 24th June will be full price.

You can order from www.lucysblueday.com

A version for older children and teenagers is available to pre-order. Details can be found on the website.

Both versions of the book help children to understand that they are not alone and that there are people who can help if you are feeling blue.

P3W explored the various emotions and related it to their own lives.
