The Lost Book tells the story of 9 year old Lev who turns a frustrating event (mum says "no") into a creative family adventure. Lev is known for her love of books. When she forgets the book she was reading at school, she does all in her power to convince mum to return to school and collect it so that she can continue reading. Things do not turn out the way Lev wants, but then she has an idea… where all the family is going to join her on a memorable adventure in imagination. You will join them too.
This charming and highly original tale is aimed at 5-9 years old.
The story contains important messages for children such as (1) There are always other options and solutions (even if it doesn't feel like that sometimes), (2) "No" is also an answer, and (3) children can turn frustration into creativity.
Moreover, the story contains tips and ideas that are simple, practical and yet vital for parents such as (1) how to communicate in a healthy way with saying "no" to children's requests, (2) how to employ the main idea of the book- stopping at the dilemma- to encourage children to read and (3) how to encourages children's creativity, imagination, and a love for books. You will not believe how much of a positive transformation you can create by changing the way you experience reading with your child.
