Invisible Jerry

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE 28/01/25

We are experiencing an influx of late orders. We understand school starts that today. If you placed your order between Thursday and Midday Saturday, and haven't received a message to say that your order is ready, we are working as hard as we can to get your order ready today.

New orders placed from Midday Saturday onwards will be added to the queue and picked in order of receival. We will do our very best to get your order ready as soon as we can, however there may be a wait of 2 to 3 days. If you choose to order we will send you a processing message then a second message that states 'order is ready' once it's ready for pickup. .

Please be patient with our staff. We had 30 staff working over the back-to-school period to get orders ready and we are really proud of what they achieved. Some of them have now returned to school and university so we have a much smaller staff onboard today. If an item on your order is out of stock, it will be backordered for you and noted on the paperwork supplied with your order.

Open Monday Tuesday Friday from 8am-4pm. Open Wednesday Thursday from 8am-5pm.Open Saturday from 8am - 12pm closing strictly at midday.

Feeling and Emotional Resilience

People don’t notice Jerry. If someone bumps into him, they don’t say sorry. If someone waves, it’s always to somebody behind him. If he makes a joke, no one laughs. He never gets picked last for sports teams — but that’s because he never gets picked at all. It’s like he’s invisible. Until Molly comes along. Molly asks Jerry his opinion. She shares things with him. She laughs with him. She sees him. And it’s then that Jerry realizes he can pay her gift forward, as there are plenty of other kids who feel invisible too. Best-selling author Adam Wallace was inspired to write Invisible Jerry after hearing children talk about never being passed the ball in sports games. Or being at a party where no one spoke to them. Or who felt their opinion didn’t matter. In today’s busy, cliquey world, there are lots of people (kids and adults) who can feel like they’re on the outside looking in. This is a picture book with humour and heart, written for them — to show them that there are people out there who will see them, who will recognize their talents, and see how worthy they are. It’s also for Adam himself — the shy kid who never felt brave enough to put himself out there, but who was lucky enough to find people who lit him up and made him realise that he had plenty to offer and that, if he was patient, the right people would see him.
