Lodelump and the Heavy Day is the first book in the Wimblewick Tales series — gentle, illustrated stories designed to help children and parents talk about emotions, mental health, and self-regulation. Through the comforting world of Wimblewick, readers meet Lodelump the librarian, who is having a “heavy day.” With the help of Thistlewhim, the island’s caretaker, Lodelump learns that it’s okay to feel low and that support doesn’t mean being “fixed.”

Perfect for parents, carers, teachers, and therapists, this book offers a kind, validating way to begin conversations about difficult feelings.
