    An engaging story that will help children manage worry and anxiety without trivialising their big feelings. Kat’s delightful illustrations bring Rosie’s world to life as she faces new challenges, and with a little help, learns how to be brave. An essential read for sensitive kids.

    This glorious book teaches children and their parents that the ‘inside whisper’ is not to be feared but rather understood and confronted by calling up the brave parts of themselves. It explores how at times our fears can be helpful in keeping us safe, while at other times ‘the inside whisper’ is not based on truth and can spoil even the happiest of moments and hinder life. The book also highlights how with the support of family, our fears can be tackled and developmental opportunities embraced.

    This delightful book shows children that it’s okay to be a little daunted at the thought of your birthday party, and gently suggests how to deal with those worrisome ’what ifs’
