This 2023 CBCA notable Early Childhood Book is a story about the love of family and understanding that even if your day may not be going exactly as your would like there is always someone to help make it better.

The activities for this book, like the story itself, are designed for children in their first year of school or before they start school. They are designed to make the book fun and enjoyable while also practicing fine motor skills, matching rhyming words and sorting items.

If you would prefer a non-paper based activity why not use a world map to locate Antarctica and locate family members of students in your class or places they have visited overseas. You could also use a large cardboard box to build a cubby house where children can spend time by themselves in quiet if they wish knowing that their friends and family will be waiting for them on the outside.
