This book is about Julia and her uncle. Julia has had a terrible day and her uncle is trying to cheer her up after picking her up from school. He does this by introducing her to the Triple C: the Childish Children's Club. The Club is to encourage people to slow down and enjoy certain things that are easy to neglect. Walking at your own pace even if everybody else is rushing past. Smiling at strangers. Asking 'Are we there yet?' as many times as you like. Collecting conkers or simply imagining things.
