Lemur Feels Let Down - A book about disappointment - Author Sue Graves

When everything seems to go wrong, how do we deal with it?

In Lemur Feels Let Down, young readers follow Lemur as she faces a series of frustrating moments—starting with the wrong breakfast cereal and ending in a day full of mishaps. But when Lemur realises how upset and cross she feels, she begins to explore ways to shift her perspective and feel better.

With warmth and humour, this beautifully illustrated picture book introduces children to the emotion of disappointment in a safe and relatable way. It includes practical activity ideas and conversation prompts to help parents, educators and caregivers talk through big feelings with little ones.
