Sometimes, when we are least expecting it, the opportunity to dream and plan is given to us. Just like Peata Ruadh, while we are locked down because of Covid 19 hunker down, keep warm and safe and take this opportunity to dream and plan.

Peata Ruadh was snuggled  in his burrow.

He was worring about the colour of his beak.

He closed his eyes and let all sorts of imaginative ideas float around for a while.

Some he thought were crazy. Others, he thought really might work.

You are never going to find out unless you are brave enough to try. Sometimes, you have to try out many ideas until you find the one that works. Read about how Peata Ruadh solved the problem with his beak in the book: The story of how a young puffin gets his coloured beak.
