Daisy is moving to a new house and a new school. She is worried.
What if she doesn't like her new neighbours or teacher? What if her
cat runs away? Can Grandpa help her feel less worried? This series
introduces young children to different aspects of our emotions and
behaviour. A fictional story is backed up by suggestions for
activities and ideas to talk about, while a wordless storyboard
encourages children to tell another story.
This funny and light-hearted tale is a delightful, laugh-out-loud
story of friendship, humility and vegetables, which kids of all
ages will love! It's nearly time for the Annual Vegetable Awards
and all the vegetables gather to discuss who deserves to be
nominated. Unassuming Broccoli feels she lives a very normal life
but decides to go along as best friend Carrot - with the amazing
hair - will be there. Broccoli is quiet while the other vegetables
begin to bicker about who is the best. "Easy peasy" chorused the
Pea Pod Possy. "We went skiing through the Wobbly Wild Woods, home
of the white whistling wolves! And only one of us got eaten!".
"Don't be silly", said Tomato, "I went trekking through the..."
"TOMATO! You're not even a vegetable!" Potato protested. "Besides,
I climbed to the top of Vege-Table Mountain!" Slowly it emerges
that Broccoli is actually incredibly brave and kind, and a very
special vegetable. Featuring a grumpy aubergine, an arrogant
potato, and many more veggie characters this amusing tale
highlights how special we all are in our own way.
Mind Like Mine is a stigma-busting collection of biographies of
some of the great people from history who have lived with mental
health conditions. Did you know Charles Darwin experienced anxiety
and Florence Nightingale lived with PTSD? From Michelangelo to
Deepika Padukone, Ada Lovelace to Freddie Flintoff, a great many
successful people with brilliant minds and talents have lived or
are living with mental health disorders. The biographies in this
book show that you can't always tell what a person is going
through, and that mental health conditions can and do impact people
from all walks of life. The aim of this book is to help remove some
of the stigma around mental health, discuss different mental health
conditions, what they mean and how they are treated; and ultimately
to show that mental health disorders do not have to hold anyone
back from achieving their dreams. The figures featured are from a
range of diverse backgrounds and disciplines across science,
literature, art, music, sport, politics and popular culture.
Additional feature pages will explain and explore key mental health
conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and eating disorders.
