Lucy’s in Lockdown

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.”
