Description
Come on an adventure into a forest of possibility. You never know what you might discover inside.
Meet Pollyanna Petticoat, whose positive way of seeing the world makes even ordinary days seem extraordinary.
From a perfectly perfect day to a Possibility Quest to discovering the joy of getting lost, Pollyanna and her friends wander through their forest home looking for adventure. Along the way, they encounter surprises, challenges, laughter, friendship, and a few gentle reminders that sometimes the greatest treasures aren't things you can hold in your hands.
Through eight whimsical adventures, The Adventures of Pollyanna Petticoat invites readers to discover:
- the courage to try something new
- the freedom that comes with being honest
- the magic of looking for possibilities
- the joy of friendship and helping others
- the quiet power of gratitude
- and how positive thinking can often save the day
Warm, lyrical, and sprinkled with everyday magic, Pollyanna's adventures will entertain both children and adults.
It's an especially lovely read-aloud for grandparents, parents, teachers, and librarians.
(The book includes a free downloadable coloring & activity guide for early readers. Pollyanna's superpower is positivity, but each character has their own special gifts they are encouraged to use and share through these simple yet timely adventures. Redefining 'being a pollyanna' to something positive and hopeful is at the core of this book. The subtle humor throughout makes this an enjoyable read-aloud book.)
Advance Praise
""What a magical journey to share with Pollyanna and her wise friends! Reading this warmed my heart and soul, and reminded me to embrace myself and life with greater joy and wonder. Whatever your age, you will come away feeling uplifted, inspired, and encouraged to walk your own path. Truly a unique book filled with wisdom, warmth, and wonderful illustrations."" -Vasi Huntalas, Mindset Mentor & Coach
""This book serves as a gentle reminder that even the most ordinary days can become extraordinary when met with curiosity, kindness, friendship, imagination, and an open heart.
Through Pollyanna Petticoat’s magical world, we are invited to explore how even challenging days can be made better through the power of positive belief. The whimsical illustrations are simple yet inviting. A tender and meaningful read for children and grownups, this uplifting book will warm your heart."" -Tsilla B, Teacher
""The Adventures of Pollyanna Petticoat & Friends is delightful for children and for the young-at-heart. Its magical, enchanting characters will lift you out of whatever dark spot you're in and restore your belief in positivity and happiness. But best of all, it gives young readers a child-friendly way to think about positivity and apply it to their own lives. In this world of polarization and fear, Pollyanna reminds us we always have a choice, each and every day. And when we have a choice, why not choose positivity and love and kindness?
I found Sora Garrett's earlier works to also be infused with hope and love and light, so it's wonderful to see her bring these to such a beautiful literary creation for children. The stunning illustrations bring it to life even more brilliantly, and the free downloadable activity book lets young readers color along with the adventures. The eight short chapters work well as bedtime stories or as a read-aloud for parents and grandparents to enjoy with the children in their lives."" -Elizabeth H. Cottrell, author of Heartspoken
