Clover Book

Clover finds even small decisions difficult, but life on the family's goat farm brings a challenge that cannot wait. When the much-loved goat Peony wanders away, Clover must act to bring her safely home. Nadine Robert and Qin Leng turn a gently suspenseful countryside adventure into a thoughtful story about trusting yourself, offering warmth and encouragement for children who recognise the feeling of hesitating before making a choice.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8), Older children (9-12). The illustrated story suits shared reading with younger children and more independent exploration as reading grows. Following events encourages prediction, sequencing and vocabulary; discussing the characters gives children practice recognising feelings and considering other perspectives.
