Description

Clarice Bean is back with all her trademark humour in this heartwarming story by former Childrens Laureate Lauren Child
I daydream a lot. At the moment I am daydreaming about inventing something that could change the world for the better. They say smiling makes things better. And if you practise smiling you feel better. Even when you are sad and you arent smiling inside . . .

The utterly wonderful Clarice Bean is wishfully thinking about how its the small ideas that change the world, even if you are only eleven with 3.65 in your piggy bank.
