A fantastically fun springtime picture book from the creators of
The Leaf Thief. Hello sunshine! Hello lovely leaves. Nice to see
you back. Squirrel is so excited. It's spring and the most perfect
flower has started to blossom - and Squirrel has decided the flower
is HIS. After what happened to the leaves in autumn (THEY ALL
DISAPPEARED), Squirrel's not taking any chances. . . He MUST keep
the flower safe, and he needs his best friend Bird to help him! But
perhaps Squirrel wants to protect the flower a little too much. . .
After all, even flowers want a little space sometimes. Join
Squirrel and Bird as they discover and explore the wonderful nature
of spring . . . and learn a few things along the way. A
laugh-out-loud book about the changing seasons, with extra
information in the back for especially curious minds Perfect as a
companion reader to children learning about seasons in school A
brilliant picture book that explores feelings, moods and times
where we feel out of control
This cute bedside book gives kids and young teens a safe space to
record their feelings and monitor their moods every day in a fun
and rewarding way. Each night before sleep, they simply colour in
the relevant day's illustration and see it build over the month to
create an accurate record of their changing emotional state.
Therapists acknowledge that keeping a record of moods and emotions
can help to identify triggers, see patterns, helping to develop
emotional intelligence and - ultimately - control. Mood-tracking
has become a much-loved activity for Bullet Journalling and even
apps - this kid-friendly, mindful, analog approach will help them
find balance, realising that there are good days and bad days and
that's OK. Filled with a range of adorable graphics that are
different every month, there's space quickly to record emotions,
allowing comparisons day by day, month by month, year by year for a
five-year period. If your young person has tried and failed to keep
a diary or journal, this easy activity book offers a much more
manageable and fun space to record what matters, giving them - and
you - the insight into how they are really feeling. Illustrator
Olive Yong (creator of the wildly popular Bichi Mao comic) has
created exclusive art for this mood tracker that they will love to
bring to life with their own colourful moods.
