Pip and the Plan that Changed

When plans fall apart, new adventures can begin.

Pip has been counting down the days to his class field trip- until raindrops on the window turn everything gray. The park is closed, the slides are soaked, and his perfect plan is ruined. With calm words, a gentle teacher, and a little imagination, Pip learns that even when the day doesn’t go as expected, something wonderful can still unfold.

Through warm, softly glowing illustrations and gentle, sensory-centered language, Pip and the Plan That Changed helps children navigate disappointment, practice flexibility, and discover how calm thinking and creativity can turn a hard moment into a happy one. It’s a story of resilience, adaptation, and finding joy in the unexpected.
