PAPERBACK Author & Illustrator: Greg Stobbs Bobby has a wonderful imagination - and when his mind wanders, something unusual happens… he starts to float. The world around Bobby is full of fascinating distractions. Bright colours, unexpected sounds and curious smells pull his attention in every direction. His friends and family try their best to help him stay focused, even tying a string around his ankle to keep him from drifting away. But instead of helping, it only makes Bobby feel sad and misunderstood. What Bobby really needs isn’t to be changed - he needs people to understand the way his mind works. Slowly, the people around him begin to see things from Bobby’s point of view. And when they do, they realise that his way of experiencing the world is not a problem to fix, but something special to appreciate.
