Information about the story
This story features Gracie, a little girl who lives in Hedgehog Crescent. She has a secret, a magical hat that transports herself and her friends on adventures. In Gracie’s Forest Adventure, the children arrive in a forest full of animated, lively animals, brought to life by eye-catching and original illustrations.
In the story an animal dies, however, this book is created to be read at any time as an adventure story, not just when there is a crisis in a child’s life.
It can, when appropriate, be used to support children in preparing them for the loss of a pet of their own or friends and relatives. It will help them to develop caring skills and empathy.
