Tilda’s world is turning around perfectly. But, seemingly overnight, it goes wobbly and topsy turvy; everything starts to feel, well, hard! It all feels so hard that eventually Tilda resolves to do simply nothing. Until, one day, she spots a ladybug on its back, wriggling its legs, wriggling and wriggling a little more until, finally, it turns itself all the way back round. And this gives Tilda an idea…
 
Great use of colour to reflect Tilda’s mood. The palette range constricts as Tilda loses her confidence to tackle things and then returns, full rainbow, as she sets out to persevere in life. Includes some smart little tips on the inside front cover about what to do when you feel like giving up. ‘This book can teach children how to try again when something is hard’ (Georgia, young Letterbox Library reviewer).  A new addition to the excellent ‘Big Bright Feelings’ series from Tom Percival. Age 4-7, Paperback 29pp)
