At a time when children are more interested in sitting in front of devices and tv screens, and when told to outside and play they peer outside and don’t know what to do, how many times have you heard them say, ＂I’m BORED!＂ When ’bored’ is a word we are hearing too much, let’s join Penelope Popple as she discovers her imagination in the pages of a book. Penelope would much rather be sitting in front of the TV or her tablet than playing outside with the other children, in the giant pohutukawa tree. ＂Trees are BORING!＂ She says, until she finds, that with the help of her imagination, maybe it is more than just a tree, and maybe it is not so boring after all.
