Bienvenue — nous sommes ravis de vous accueillir.
Gemma Leona writes picture books for children navigating big emotions — and for the parents right beside them.
Une histoire tendre, drôle et « tout à fait correcte » sur les grandes émotions, les moments courageux et la magie tranquille des papas.
Every working parent knows the "emotional gut-punch" of a child who won't wave goodbye. When Mum has to head to the hospital on a Saturday, Josh is left with a "cold glass" feeling and a hood pulled firmly over his eyes.
But what follows is a masterclass in patient parenting. Follow Dad as he navigates the "No" phase with award-winning pancakes, "sneaky smiles," and the quiet competence of a first-aid kit.
This isn't just a book about missing someone; it's a story about perspective. Through a chance encounter at the hospital, Josh sees his mother not just as "Mum," but as a hero who makes "scared" feelings go away for others. It's a warm, wise, and "Willems-esque" look at family life that validates a child's sadness while celebrating their growth.
Josh is having the MOST BORING Saturday ever. Mum is at work, and Dad is being... well, Dad. But things get interesting—and a little bit "thumpy"—at the park:
Or pour la lecture à voix haute : Rempli de rythmes « Pan… pan… pan… » et de moments « BOUUM ! » qui rendent le temps de l'histoire dynamique et engageant.
La grande révélation : You'll love the physical comedy of the "Dinosaur Pay-off" at the end—it's a surprise that lands every time.
Un « doux secret chaleureux » : A beautiful ending that will leave you wanting to hug your little ones just a little bit harder.
