Out now€5A Love’s Reckoning children’s series · Ages 3–8
The Lazy Brain
Meet Emmeline, an eight-year-old Chinese girl with a big imagination — and a funny pink brain who would much rather lounge on a tiny sofa in fluffy slippers.
Written by Ella Tan · Inspired by Emma Lam
The series
Everybody has a brain. Emmeline’s has opinions.
These playful read-alouds turn everyday impulses into a character children can laugh with and talk about. Emmeline’s petite Chinese mum brings warmth, patience and the occasional very high shelf; Emmeline brings questions, cardboard and her own bright ideas.
“Stay here. It’s cosy,” said the Lazy Brain, settling deeper into its slippers.
