SuitabookSerena and Laloolee Fly Away
Rosemary Clunie
- Reading
- Read it together, pausing after each attempt to fly and when Serena meets Laloolee. Invite the child to predict what could help her travel safely and return home.
- Themes
- Perseverance and ambition: Serena repeatedly tries to make wings because she longs to fly, then learns to control them after reaching the sky. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Friendship and belonging: Serena meets Laloolee in a magical floating world, plays with her, and remains concerned about returning to her own home. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Some children may want to discuss Serena's painful falls, her worry about being far from home, and the uncertainty of finding her way back. The magical elements may merit explanation.
