Davey's Daydreams

From Louise Gooding, author of Wonderfully Wired Brains, comes a heartwarming story that reframes daydreaming as a superpower for different thinkers.

But instead of paying attention, he's often busy fighting dragons, becoming a sporting superstar, or wandering inside a mummy's tomb. All this worry over his easily distracted behaviour makes him think he'll never win.

This engaging picture book gently validates children who feel misunderstood, supporting social-emotional development and celebrating neurodiversity.
