SUNNY SIDE UP (illustrated by Ana Sanfelippo, Little Tiger Press)

When you change the way you look at the world, the world you look at changes.

When you put on your sunny-side specs a bad mood can become a good mood, a goodbye can become a hello, and even the impossible can become possible! But sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the sunny side seems far away. And that’s OK. Sunny things will be there to discover whenever you are ready.

This warm and innovative novelty book uses die-cuts and flaps to transform the world around us, illustrating the power and impact that reframing your thoughts can have.

Please see a selection of activities to accompany the story, which might help you look at the world sunny side up, including some fab ideas from @the_picture_book_prof and a display from Thatto Heath Primary School, St Helens.
