“Dr. Marlene’s quest to bring medical knowledge, healthy living and mindfulness to her audience is supported excellently by this new offering, which encourages engagement with reading by presenting information in a fun and interesting way. Rich varied language with elements of challenge support the storyline but are presented in a relatable form, thus creating a positive reading experience which is developmentally appropriate. Dr Marlene completes her educational book with hands-on activities such as colouring pages and ‘Happy Talking Points’ which provide the perfect plenary for learning. A great pedagogic book with a practical and reassuring message, ‘Happy Ever After- A Pandemic Tale’ is highly recommended.”
