Llama's Sports Day offers a gentle introduction to the experience of taking part in Sports Day competitions for young children.

This funny, charming story is the perfect way to introduce young children to the experience of Sports Day. Also included are suggestions for activities and ideas to talk through together to help children reflect on their own experiences.

Everyone is excited about Sports Day. But Llama really doesn't like it, and he doesn't want to take part in any of the races. Koala helps him to practise and to see how he can enjoy Sports Day by cheering for his friends ...

The Experiences Matter series of picture books provide a gentle means of discussing experiences, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss values. Suitable for children under 5.

Sue Graves has been a freelance children's author for more than 17 years. She has written over two hundred books for children from pre-school up to 15+ years. She writes fiction and non-fiction, plays and poetry across the age ranges. Sue loves reading all sorts of books and is at her happiest when she has a book in her hand. She also loves painting in watercolours, playing tennis and badminton and going for long walks in the country with her husband and children. Illustrator and musician Trevor Dunton has loved drawing animals since he was in short trousers. OK, he was wearing short trousers yesterday, but it was a warm day and anyway, it's a figure of speech. A keen tennis player and apiarist, if he isn't hitting the fluff of a ball, he can generally be found in a field in Kent serenading his bees.
