Bazza a Day Late

A story about optimism, letting go of disappointment, and finding joy in every moment
Not everything goes to plan—and for kids, that can be a tough lesson to learn. Sometimes the waves are flat, the snow’s melted, or the rain is bucketing down.

It’s a story filled with fun, adventure, and a gentle lesson about embracing life’s ups and downs, all wrapped up in beautiful, vibrant illustrations.
