Media Reviews
Ellie Jelly and the Massive Mum Meltdown gives an honest insight into the 'real life' bad days that grown-ups sometimes have. -- Fi Star-Stone, Parenting expert and Author
This is a lovely book which tells the story of how one mum loses her temper, then attempts to put it right, by admitting she got it wrong and saying sorry. This book can help young children realise that adults may shout, but they can also apologise, and help children understand how much they're loved. -- Elizabeth O'Shea, Parenting specialist, and founder of Parent 4 Success.
