A picture book for ages 2-5 about disappointment and being heard.

Ivo has a surprise for Nana: a chalk snail so enormous that walking around it takes ages. Then the rain arrives before she does and washes it away.

Mum sits beside him in the doorway. When Nana arrives, Ivo invites her to see where his snail used to be. He draws a curl in the air, and Nana follows his finger.

Where Did My Chalk Snail Go? - is a family read-aloud about a child who wants someone to see what he made, and the grown-ups who take time to listen. There is a very big snail, a carefully rehearsed surprise, and disappointment when things go wrong.

After the story, children can trace a snail in the air, explore how Ivo might feel, or share something they remember. Short notes give parents and teachers ways to join in. Choose an activity that interests your child, join in with a gesture, or simply enjoy the story together.
