Imagine!
by Patricia Forde, Elina Braslina
Description
A light-hearted picture book about using humour and imagination to overcome fears and show love
A little girl shares her fears with her grandma: pirates, ghosts, the big dog down the lane…
Each time, her grandma reassures her there’s nothing to fear. And she has the perfect solution for overcoming her worries: just imagine them doing the funniest things!
Pirates play with their dolls in fluffy party dresses; monsters end up in orange tutus dancing in a field of daisies; vampires become big babies with bonnets and soothers…
Finally, the girl admits her biggest fear of all: that her grandma will go away and leave her forever.
Grandma tells her that she will always be with her, in her heart… and she can imagine her in a yellow polka-dot bikini if she likes!
