This sturdy, interactive board book is designed to help young children build confidence and develop strategies they can use when they are feeling nervous or unsure.
We follow a little girl as she goes to a party. Like many little children, she’s feeling quite shy, but copes with that in various ways. She reminds herself that the other children might be nervous too, that acting brave, even pretending to have a superpower can make you feel braver.
There’s a wheel to turn on every page, that reveals different statements to build up confidence, such as ‘I believe in myself’, ‘my feelings matter’ and ‘it’s OK to be scared’. The final spread shows readers a simple breathing technique that will also help.
Turning the wheel here reveals moments when you might need to be brave, opening up lots of opportunities for discussion. One of a series, it’s bright to look at, fun to read and full of practical, constructive advice.
A beautifully illustrated little board book exploring big feelings. The simple narrative carries an important message – that being brave doesn’t mean never being scared! It just means trying your best to face scary challenges when they come your way. At the end of the book there is a practical exercise to help little ones deal with their emotions and a fun, interactive wheel to help them express how they feel.
