All I want to do on a rainy day like today is stay inside and play my game. The game drives Mum mad, and she takes it away. I take it back and dash outside – but splash! Disaster strikes. Without my game, nothing is fun. Well, let’s see. Maybe I’m wrong about that…

Told and illustrated in Beatrice Alemagna’s exquisite trademark style, On a Magical Do-Nothing Day celebrates the magical effect that nature can have on a child’s imagination.
