Louise Gooding: Davey's Daydreams, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Following the success of Wonderfully Wired Brains and Minna's Masks, Davey's Daydreams introduces a little boy with a vivid imagination. His daydreams aren't just flights of fancy; they are a key part of how he processes the world. This heartwarming story celebrates these daydreams, showing that they should be embraced as a unique and creative way of being.

This narrative gently introduces daydreaming as a common trait in many neurodiverse children, indicating how it can be both a challenge and a strength. The story highlights how understanding and a channel for expression can help a child feel seen and appreciated for their unique mind. It's a validation for children who feel misunderstood because of their "fidgety" or "distracted" behaviour, and a resource for parents and educators. This book reframes daydreaming from a negative symptom into a creative outlet, and it encourages children to embrace their way of thinking, teaching others to appreciate the value of imagination.

Louise Gooding has also been nominated and shortlisted for several awards, including The Week Junior Book Awards and the ALCS Educational Writers' Award.
