A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month July 2024
A welcome return for Fergal, a little dragon who experiences big, complicated and familiar emotions!
Fergal is excited that Elspeth, his friend from summer camp, is coming to visit so that they can go to the school fair together. But then, the excitement turns to anxiety. Fergal is fretting!
What if Elspeth doesn’t fit in with his other friends? What if Elspeth fits in so well that she likes his friends more than him? What if playing with Elspeth isn't fun anymore?
Mum and Dad give Fergal loads of tips on how to manage his anxiety. When Elspeth arrives it turns out that she is shy about meeting too! Fortunately, both soon realise how happily they can play together.
