Lucy is like many other children in the world right now: in quarantine with her family.
Her hair is blue, but this time she knows why.
This FREE eBook is designed to help children realise they’re not alone in the current conditions with Covid-19, to help them understand it’s temporary and to help them express how they’re feeling.
It’s “okay, sometimes, to have a blue day.”
Lucy’s Blue Day
by Chris Duke
A tale about a little girl called Lucy who wakes up with blue hairband 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
