PUBLISHED BOOK:  Bushey mum publishes book inspired by daughter’s love of pink

 Published on: 11th March 2020   |   By: Geraint Roberts   |   Category: Uncategorized

Bushey mother of three, Lucy Godfrey, has finally fulfilled a dream of publishing a book, ‘Sadie’s Favourite Colour’ which was inspired by her daughter’s love of pink during her toddler years.  

The book is also illustrated by a friend of Lucy’s, and a Bushey resident himself, Jeremy Karpel.

Lucy looks back to those times with a wry smile, she said: “Jodie’s insistence on wearing only pink throughout her toddler years, was often difficult to comprehend but we were delighted by her free expression.”

 “Ultimately children will discover their own preferences in the end.  Jodie, now eighteen is very much her own person studying Sociology at Uni.”

Similarly, Sadie in the story is strong-willed and knows her own mind.  She embraces life’s pleasures with a fun and light-hearted approach, sharing some often outlandish but true facts along the way, and a surprise at the end that will make children as well as adults smile.

As World Book Day took place on March 5, Lucy celebrated the day by sharing a book reading with children from the Little Learners Montessori Nursey in Watford. 

Lucy continued: “It was fantastic to be able to share my book with different age groups. It’s always been a dream to see a book of mine published, and the fact it’s based on my daughter makes it even more special.

“It really moved me to see the children’s reactions, even the boys didn’t mind that it was all about the colour pink.

“I’d definitely like to do it all again in the future and publish another book, but at the moment we’re just working on promoting this one and seeing where it goes.”
