Ever wish you could remember and share all the little secrets and surprises of your day with someone you love? Maybe you need an amazing magic pocket to help you, just like the one in this enchantingly illustrated children’s story! Princess Pippa is a witty young rabbit with big stories about her day, but remembering all these bunny tales isn’t so easy! Her mother, Queen Dazzle, gives her a magic pocket to help. As Pippa skips through her day, she collects all the special things that happen to her and pops them right into her magic pocket for safekeeping. At bedtime, the magic pocket helps Pippa remember to share all the adventures of her day. Pippa shares silly things, scary things, happy things, sad things and wonderful things too, like the shiny gold star the teacher gave her for helping a friend find a lost coat.

Kids and adults alike will love how Pippa shares the joys, surprises, difficulties and secrets of her day with her warm and caring mother. Queen Dazzle calmly reassures Pippa, counsels her and showers her with the loving message that no matter what happens in her daughter’s day, it’s important to her. New York Times Best Selling Author, Ellen Tanner Marsh, wrote in her review of Pippa’s Magic Pocket, “…sure to encourage communication and closeness at bedtime and beyond in a manner as gently reassuring as Margaret Wise Brown’s classic, Goodnight Moon.”
