Beskrivelse
When Josie's visit to the park includes an unexpected surprise, her imagination takes flight, and she creates a playground adventure for herself and a new friend, Blueberry Blue. Through imagination and exploration, the two friends are at the height of their wondrous day together when something happens, and Josie is faced with new feelings and difficult choices.
A story about the depth and range of children's feelings and the role loving adults play in children's emotional journeys, Josie Girl and Blueberry Blue is a tender story of adventure in which a child's feelings of anticipation, joy, sadness, anger, frustration, and envy are recognized and supported in order to make way for the possibility for new emotional experiences, including empathy, resilience, and hope.
