Media Reviews
A fantastic look at what children worry about in every day life but put in a child friendly way that is easily understood. With superb advice all the way through and excellent illustrations... this is the perfect book for a child to be able to talk to any adult about their worries! * Gemma at Elgin *
The book is excellent at putting things from a child's perspective and whilst acknowledging that the fears are very real, it puts children's minds at rest with its practical approach and easily applied solutions that can be used on an on-going basis. * Parents in Touch *
Bright, visually appealing and emotionally accurate, this book will help promote resilience in children; improve self-awareness and communication skills through the development of vocabulary associated with a range of moods and feelings... and would be perfect for use throughout the primary school in PSHE lessons and nurture-based intervention groups. * The Reader Teacher, @MrEPrimary *
The entire book appears to have been produced with real love, care and expertise: the messages are well considered and the tone is just right for young children. * Claire Ward-Dutton, Little Parachutes *
