The Surprised Sprite is bossy and rude. She lives in the magical town of Lifeland where she tells everyone what to do and doesn’t care how they feel. One day, her only friend Dan has had enough of Sprite’s behaviour and tells her straight he will no longer put up with it before leaving. Sprite is surprised beyond belief and decides to fly away too, confused at what has happened. She’s surprised as she slowly realises how her poor behaviour has affected others and returns to Lifeland ready to change for the better. This is a book for younger readers, their teachers and parents, written in easy to understand rhyme with striking full-colour illustrations, set in the magical world of ‘Lifeland,’ and one of a series of six Finding Your Way books. Each book takes one of the six core emotions of surprise, anger, happiness, sadness, fear and disgust and aims to show the reader how to identify and manage the emotion they are feeling safely on their own or with the help of an adult.
