Four very short stories about the everyday life of a little girl and her mum, by Ireland's first Children's Laureate.
Alexandra’s adventures include changing her name, bedtime fears and a plaster disaster. In each story, Alexandra's mum helps her to learn about herself and the world by allowing her to make her own discoveries.
