Imagine! by Patricia Forde
A grandma teaches her granddaughter how to overcome fears by imagining funny situations A little girl confides in her grandma about her fears: pirates, monsters, the big dog down the lane ... Each time her grandma suggests a way to overcome her fear by imagining funny situations. Eventually the girl tells her biggest fear – that her grandma will go away and leave her forever. The grandma tells her that she will always live in her heart ... and she can imagine her in a yellow polkadot bikini if she likes! A funny and sweet story about a little girl, her grandma, and the power of humour and imagination to dispel fears and anxieties.‘A lovely book to read and discuss, beautifully illustrated with lively, funny images throughout from Elina Braslina’
