Lodelump and the Heavy Day: 2nd edition

By Redferne

In the magical woodland of Wimblewick, Thistlewhim the gnome sets off on a sunny walk-only to find his friend Lodelump having a heavy, teary day.

This gentle, heartfelt story explores sadness with care and compassion, reminding readers that we don't need to "fix" our feelings to feel better. With soft moss blankets, kind words, and a glowing jar of sunlight, Thistlewhim shows that simply being there can make all the difference.

Perfect for bedtime, classrooms, or quiet moments together, Lodelump and the Heavy Day helps children (and grown-ups) understand big feelings in a safe, supportive way.

Includes a creative activity guide to make your own sunlight jar-a comforting way to focus on joy, hope, and gratitude.

Ideal for ages 4-8.

Themes: emotional literacy, sadness, friendship, empathy, mindfulness.
