Rebecca Hobbs’ stories are inspired by her day-to-day experiences in the classroom as a primary school teacher and being a mum to her biggest supporters, Freddie and Evie. When not covered in paint, head-to-toe in glitter or ‘eating’ playdough creations, Rebecca enjoys writing stories for children, combining relatable themes with a little touch of magic. She is a fan of biscuits, cardigans and daydreaming.
Evie loves being with Mummy. Mummy loves being with Evie. But Evie is about to start school. What will she do? How will she get through the day without her Mummy? She will miss her so much.
However, what Evie doesn’t know is that she is about to discover a way of coping with letting go. She will learn that comfort can be brought by the invisible…
“Catch all the kisses that come your way. They’ll make you feel loved all through the day.”
So, join Evie as she discovers the magic of catching and blowing kisses; helping her to enjoy her very first day of school.
A heartwarming and touching story showing us that the people we love and miss can still remain near – however far away they may seem.
So why not spread the magic? Quick! Catch it!
Betty has been told that her grandad is gone forever, but she knows that he isn’t. She believes he is up in the stars. So instead of lying in bed, asleep, she is looking through her telescope, fuelled by chocolate biscuits, hunting the night sky for him.
But Betty quickly realises that there is a problem.
A big one!
All the stars look the same. So, full of disappointment she makes a wish upon a star...
Follow Betty on her adventure to find her beloved grandad, learning the comforting lesson that people we love will always be with us, no matter how far away they may seem.
What do you wish upon a star?
