One night grandma comes to stay and helps Eva overcome the challenges she is facing. Grandma soothes Eva with her words and helps her to visualise things going well.

"The more we practice good feeling thoughts and being the best that we can be, it's all in our perception the way we choose to see."

This is a magical story about the bond between a child and her grandmother and is a heartwarming tale that teaches children how to support their happiness and have a positive focus using the practice of visualisation and meditation.
