The Grown-Ups' Book
For parents, carers, teachers and helpers (18+).
How to use these books with your child
- Choose the right book: 🌱 Sprouts (5–7) · 🐾 Trail Seekers (8–10) · 🧭 Pathfinders (11–13) · 🔥 Trailblazers (14–17) · 🌸 Girls' Book (girls about 8–16). Pick by what your child is ready for, not only by age. A younger book is always fine.
- Read together. Watch the matching episode, look at the Field Card, practise one checklist line with props, and say Lily's slogan together.
- Keep it calm and hopeful. Don't press children to talk about hard things they've lived through.
- You handle the risky parts: fire, hot things, sharp tools, medicine, deep water, and anything strange or unknown.
