Dr Janet Hoskin Senior Lecturer in Special Education Beautifully written to explain how to overcome anxiety, and accessible to all. Hollie Moore Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCO) A beautifully written and illustrated book, with a profound but accessible message for children of all ages (and probably quite a few adults too) John Maxwell Head Teacher and counsellor A beautiful story of resilience, hope and inner strength. Dani Tamblyn Teacher I loved the book because it made me feel confident and I knew someone was always there for me. Rafferty aged 10 Such a beautiful way of teaching resilience to little ones (and adults). The illustrations are exquisite. Camilla Weijburg Complementary Therapies Coordinator Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust She usually is fidgeting around like anything when I'm reading, but this time she relaxed and was much calmer.
