P1-4 pupils were excited today to meet Chris Duke, the author of the story ‘Lucy’s Blue Day’.<\/p>\n

Chris travelled for 3 hours today to visit Galston Primary, Onthank and Hillhead Primary to share a very powerful message.<\/p>\n

The day started with the Kilmarnock Standard photographer speaking to Brooke Hannah in P3W who shared her writing with Chris and he has used it on his Facebook and Instagram pages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Other pupils showed art work related to the various emotions shared in the story of Lucy with the magical colour changing hair.<\/p>\n

P1 and P2 then met Chris and also Mary MacInnes who has been selling handmade products to raise money to donate a copy of the book to all schools in East Ayrshire. Mary is a local girl who attended Loanhead Primary School. She wants to spread the message to the community that ‘It is ok not to be ok’ and that blue days will pass.<\/p>\n

Some p1 pupils showed their super work!<\/p>\n
