Hugo the monkey doesn't like Upside-Down Fridays. The day is the
wrong way round; lunchtime is at morning teatime, and all his
classmates' smiles look like frowns. How will Hugo learn to tame
the butterflies in his tummy and find the fun to be had in change?
Upside-Down Friday tells the story of the day Hugo embraces the
unexpected. Walking to school, anxious thoughts swirl in his head.
When he arrives, the day and his routine are as upside-down as he
had feared. However, Maddie the giraffe knows how to help, and
reassures Hugo that things won't always be this scary. With this
small gesture of friendship and understanding, Hugo begins to feel
braver, reflecting how making new friendships, helping others, and
accepting change can help reduce childhood anxiety and build
resilience. With its universal animal-kingdom setting, the story
has likable characters who will resonate with all pre-schoolers and
lower primary-aged school children who feel nervous about change.
The emotive language and unique 'upside-down' illustrations make
Upside-Down Friday relatable, immersive and accessible; an
excellent resource for opening the conversation about anxiety and
teaching strategies to cope with it. Young children's lives are
full of big, scary changes like going to school and making new
friends. Help them to build emotional resilience, and find the fun
in days that don't go to plan!
