Forgetta and the Sea of Red Lotus

The story

Forgetta's smile can light up a rainy day, but she forgets almost everything, even with string tied around her fingers. When Pushem tugs loose a glowing pink string, she vanishes.

She lands in the rice fields of Thailand and accidentally touches rice that begins turning black. To save the harvest, she must remember a long list of steps, starting with finding a rare blue frog in the Sea of Red Lotus.

The real place: Sea of Red Lotus

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

1. 1The Sea of Red Lotus is really a lake in Udon Thani province, Thailand, that turns pink with lotus flowers in winter.
2. 2The lotus flowers open early in the morning and close as the day gets hot, so visitors go out by boat at sunrise.
3. 3Thailand is one of the biggest rice sellers in the world, and rice is part of almost every meal there.
