Liv used to go to school every day, but now, something feels different. She feels like all the things that made her feel safe and happy going to school are beginning to unravel. Going to school now makes her feel sad, anxious and overwhelmed. Everyone seems to think that she should be able to go, but she just can't.
This is the story of Liv who feels very stuck and misunderstood, but slowly finds a new way forward with the help of people who care. This gentle story filled with hope and honesty will show you how school and learning doesn't always look the same for everyone, and that's okay.
The School is Lava is for anyone who finds going to school really difficult and needs to know they're not alone.
