SKU: 9781916871724

A story about happiness

Blinky, the mummy, is all wrapped up in love. She is so tightly wrapped from head to toe that we can only see her little eyes peeking through. But that’s no problem: Blinky blinks, and sometimes winks, instead of talking. Most of the time this is just fine. But when Blinky is feeling blue she can’t let her friends know why. So those creative guys must figure out what’s wrong and find a way to cheer her up.  They don’t understand why their friend is sad, so clever Lil Wolfie the Werewolf suggests a brilliant guessing game called Lose the Blues, where Blinky can communicate (and lose her blues) using her blinks.

With a spinning wheel of fun adventures and plenty of gun games suggested by her friends, Blinky finally finds something that makes her blink with pure joy. Blinky is going to fly!

This heartwarming story teaches children about understanding different ways of communicating, being patient with friends, and the power of community support. – all with a lot of fun. Lil Blinky is packed with illustrations and delightful rhymes. This tale shows young readers that even when we feel blue, friends can help us find our way back to happiness.
