The three best friends set off on an adventure with a pink box full of adventuring goodies, and they travel and explore together until the sky turns grey and scary.
But it’s hard to stay afraid when you have your best friends by your side. Particularly when they do amazing and special things to help you feel brave again.
This is a story about childhood, imagination and friendship. It’s a magical adventure that will delight children in a very special way because it perfectly captures the essence of what it means to be a kid.
With beautiful repetitive phrases throughout and exquisite illustrations to explore, the story is a joy to read to an audience and super engaging for kids.
Mannie and the Long Brave Day will make you smile. It will make you remember your childhood. It’s like a big warm hug.
