Let’s Create

“Optimism Glasses”

Make a pair of “Optimism Glasses” out of cardboard, wear them together, and act out different everyday situations— a rainy day, a parent coming home late, a lost toy. Put on the glasses and encourage your child to look for the positive side. For example: “The rain might get us wet, but it waters the trees and plants and makes nature beautifully green.”

The little kangaroo learns songs about the sea and about being homesick. We can recall some of these songs and sing them together.

“Let’s pretend we are sick,” the children enjoy to play pretend, and they like to show how they take care of their parents. This is also an opportunity to reinforce their sense of capability to help others, even with small things.

The beautiful illustrations of the book won several international awards. The illustrator was able to depict the monster beautifully (which is supposed to be frightening), and he succeeded in conveying, with small details, the atmosphere of a warm relationship between the mother and her child. We can look at the illustrations together and talk about what we like about them.
