About this book
An adorable tale about a Sunday afternoon with a group of siblings, that introduces the concepts of individuality and personality in a vibrant way.
The Filpot children love to go fishing on Sundays. And, every Sunday, when it is nice and sunny, they always follow the same routine. Except for Elsie, who prefers to do things her own way…
Why should she act like everyone when she can follow the path along the creek, feed a duck with a sandwich, or catch a fish with a buttercup?
What if Elsie was right? After all, being different opens new horizons.
IN THE MEDIA
"A beautifully illustrated tale exploring the concept of neurodiversity, featuring a little rabbit who doesn't see the world as her brothers and sisters. It's never heavy-handed, always joyful."
