‘As a Social Worker and a person who has experienced trauma’s, I would like to say what a privilege it is to see these wonderful characters and their journey through difficult issues relevant to many. These endearing characters have universal appeal and whilst they are personable and relatable, they are depersonalized nicely so that those who may have difficulties, trust people and feel safe to transverse challenging issues through these lovable characters. This resource would be valuable to those working with children in many arenas. What a delightful collection. I look forward to the many journeys they take and anticipate then being pivotal in starting healing conversations with both young and old alike’.
Amelia: Community Worker
I can’t believe what you feel inside just by looking at the emotions shown on the birds faces-I will use them with the kids in the community work that I do’
Jenny Glazebrook-Author-Speaker & Chaplain
In my work as a school chaplain and pastoral carer, I have found that picture books are a valuable tool to encourage children to begin talking about their struggles. Animal stories and illustrations in particular remove barriers and make the children feel safe and willing to open up to an adult reading with them. Even children who have previously struggled to express themselves are able to connect with the illustrations and share about their own difficulties. For this reason, I believe these stories with their beautiful animal illustrations and theme of family issues are a valuable resource for teachers, chaplains, pastoral carers and counsellors who work with children
