Paperback copies of Lenny and Lily

Lenny and Lily in Lockdown and Lenny and Lily Return to School will help children make sense of their experiences during the coronavirus pandemic, communicate their feelings and prepare for more change as they go back to the classroom. As the stories are told in pictures alone, it is not necessary for children to be able to read words to enjoy them. This means they are appropriate for pupils in both mainstream and special education settings.

Supporting text at the end of each story gives teaching staff and parents guidance on how to use the stories with children.

"One boy in my class was upset as it was his birthday but he couldn't see his Nana. I reached for 'Lenny and Lily in Lockdown' and spent the next 2 hours looking at the story with him. He kept going back to the picture of the grandparents standing outside Lily's house and saying, 'It's ‘cos of the virus'. We read the story over and over again together, talking through how the characters felt and how he felt. The book opened up that conversation."
