Hugo the monkey doesn't like Upside-Down Fridays. The day is the wrong way round; lunchtime is at morning teatime, and all his classmates' smiles look like frowns. How will Hugo learn to tame the butterflies in his tummy and find the fun to be had in change?
Upside-Down Friday tells the story of the day Hugo embraces the unexpected. Walking to school, anxious thoughts swirl in his head. When he arrives, the day and his routine are as upside-down as he had feared. However, Maddie the giraffe knows how to help, and reassures Hugo that things won't always be this scary. With this small gesture of friendship and understanding, Hugo begins to feel braver, reflecting how making new friendships, helping others, and accepting change can help reduce childhood anxiety and build resilience.
With its universal animal-kingdom setting, the story has likeable characters who will resonate with all preschoolers and lower primary-aged school children (ages 4–7) who feel nervous about change. The emotive language and unique 'upside-down' illustrations make Upside-Down Friday relatable, immersive and accessible; an excellent resource for opening conversations about anxiety and teaching strategies to cope with it. The use of animals in the illustrations is perfect for making the book accessible to readers of all ages, genders and cultures.
Upside-Down Friday themes touch on anxiety, resilience, friendship, courage and emotional wellbeing. As young children's lives are full of big, scary changes like going to school and making new friends the contents help them to build emotional resilience and find the fun in days that don’t go to plan.
