A timely and beautifully illustrated book, encouraging children to
investigate the meaning of their emotions and express themselves
without fear. It also builds their confidence to say 'no' when
needed: a vital skill which will last a lifetime.

enterprise Sex Ed Matters*
A simple but highly effective and accessible exploration of
feelings and well-being.

The illustrations are also wonderfully powerful as they help to
portray complex and difficult emotions in a colourful and relatable
way for young children. Out on 7 December, this would be a lovely
book for a little one to unwrap this Christmas.
*Mini Travellers*
The book is effective in showing children how to listen to their
bodies, listen to their hearts, and look after themselves, with the
caveat that they don't have to do it all on their own.
*Juno Magazine*
I spent hours with my young readers looking at all the colour, as
well as the places where there is no colour, and we could imagine
our own. It was a wonderful way to introduce the topic of feelings
and emotions and encouraged wonderful conversations. This is a book
with a story to enjoy, a message to take away and a practical guide
to expressing feelings.
*Armadillo*
I felt calmer after sharing this story and I know I will be coming
back to it, and sharing it, even following the instructions for
making a Wellness Toolkit. A conversation starter and an
inspiration.
