SET OFF ON A REMARKABLE JOURNEY THROUGH A MYSTICAL LAND WITH ‘THE LOST WISH’, A CHILDREN’S FANTASY BOOK.
‘The Lost Wish’ by Clare Anderson and Emily Jacobs, illustrated by Emma Kurran, is a tale for 5-12-year-olds, written to excite and inspire young readers everywhere.
‘The Lost Wish’ is a modern festive fantasy adventure story with echoes of familiar fairy tales, favourite fables and much-loved legends. It’s full of fascinating characters and remarkable events that teach children the importance of wellbeing, courage, compassion and self-belief.
Set in Elfland, a magical place where wishes can come true, the main characters, Siena, her loyal loving dog Buddy, and her best friend Gabi, inadvertently set off on a journey through a mystical land that’s filled with adventures, magic, and lots of festive fun.
Along their journey, they encounter friendly elves, dangerous dragons, flying pixies and talking rats as they set upon an important mission to find ‘The Lost Wish', and with it, save the dreams of thousands of children around the land. Time is against them, and the clock is ticking! Will they succeed with their important mission, or will Gizmo the Dragon get there first?
Clare Anderson, Author of ‘The Lost Wish’ and Founder of ElflandUK commented:
“Today’s life is fast-paced, even for our little ones. Sensory overload is happening more and more frequently. That’s why I came up with the story for ‘The Lost Wish’, a story that will entertain families this Christmas but also help them to come together to enjoy an improved level of wellbeing.
‘The Lost Wish’ is the story that brings together our range of sensory based products that ignite but also recharge children’s delicate senses. ‘The Lost Wish’ is not just a story about Christmas – it is so much more, with positive affirmations, downloadable activity sheets, and daily wellbeing practices”.
‘The Lost Wish” also includes a QR code to download a free guided Sleepy Elf meditation, a wonderful sleep aid to help calm and relax children before bed. Children will love meeting Remi, keeper of the grand sleep secret as they are guided to a more restful night's sleep. The meditation can be further enhanced by using an Elf Eyes self-heating eye mask, perfect for Christmas Eve, when excitement is at a peak.
Besides the limited edition full-colour paperback, ‘The Lost Wish’ is also available to purchase as a download for Kindle and as an audiobook, providing multiple sensory options.
‘The Lost Wish’ is the ultimate Christmas present for 2022; priced at just £9.95 it makes a wonderful stocking filler.
With full-colour illustrations throughout and bonus wellbeing content, including positive affirmations and daily sayings to encourage the practice of mindfulness, it’s a fantastic book for parents, caregivers, older siblings, and little elves to read together this Christmas, and beyond.
You can purchase your copy of ‘The Lost Wish’ today from Amazon or the Sensory Retreats website.
