21.01.2022 Do you know of a child with crippling anxiety? It can be heartbreaking to watch an otherwise happy and healthy young person struggle with larger than life fears.

Worry Monster! in the hopes of helping children facing similar situations. This new picture book is beautifully illustrated by Robin Tatlow-Lord and is available now from https://ekbooks.org/ and wherever great books are sold.

20.01.2022 It’s Harmony Week here in Aus. This is a time to celebrate the diversity of our communities, and reflect on the ways we can continue to lift each other up. We think that it’s important for kids to see the numerous cultures, religions and beliefs that make up our society in the books that they read, so they can work towards a more harmonious future.... These books by @taniamccartney and Tina Snerling, are a celebration of these cultures and traditions, and the perfect addition to any kids library. #harmonyday #harmonyweek #harmony #harmonyweekaustralia #harmonyweek2021 #australiaillustrated #australia #booksaustralia #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #kidsbookswelove #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #booksforteachers

19.01.2022 Death is a difficult subject to deal with in a way children can grasp. Thank you to Dimity Powell for this list of books that help kids make sense of their grief. We are so thrilled to see #Tree by child psychologist Lynn Jenkins and Kirrili Lonergan on this list of useful resources for coping with loss. (We note that Dimity has shyly omitted her own excellent title from this list. #TheFixItMan also deftly deals with a family struggling to come to terms with the idea that somethings even the handiest Dad can't fix.

17.01.2022 "As a call to arms (branches?) this would be a marvellous addition to any classroom unit centred on conservation and protection of natural resources but is more likely to be taken up by individuals keen to explore its inherent beauty and subject matter. Readers will spend hours poring over the detailed illustrations and uncovering the grace, strength, science and spiritual importance of trees across cultures." Thank you Losang Zopa for this wonderful review of #TreeBeings by Raymond Huber and Sandra Severgnini., on sale in all good bookstores from October 1. Tree Beings Book

15.01.2022 The Battle by Ashling Kwok and Cara King (Caratoons) Out now in paperback.

14.01.2022 As @dimityspowell so aptly put it Flick. Still dancing into people’s hearts. Thank you @mypicturebookheart for the wonderful summary and review. Domestic Violence Awareness comes in many forms. And it’s important for kids to have a way to understand aspects of domestic violence and how it can affect young lives. @whiteribbonaust #whiteribbonday @actforkids ... Flick lives in a small house with a tin roof at the end of Holyrood Lane. She loves to dance outside with butterflies, tumble alongside autumn leaves, and enjoy the warmth of sunny days. Some days however, a storm of angry clouds roll in bringing with them darkness and danger. Flick hides in cupboards or under her bed with her favourite snuggly unicorn toy. But one day, Flick is ready to share her story and reaches out for help in dealing with the storms. Before long the skies become brighter and clearer than ever before and a feeling of safety starts to return to the house at the end of Holyrood Lane. This is a beautifully written and illustrated story that sensitively addresses the issue of children’s exposure to domestic violence. Using the analogy of a storm and focusing on the experience of Flick, this picture book makes this difficult topic easily accessible for young readers. Flick’s story is uplifting and empowering and is one that needs to be shared.

10.01.2022 Worry Monster loves ‘helping’ Archie worry, especially the night before he starts his new school. Archie feels so anxious that his head hurts, his tummy flutters and his heart pounds. He soon realizes that the only way to feel better is to make Worry Monster go away. He does his belly breaths and challenges his inner fears by facing facts. Go Away, Worry Monster! by Brooke Graham and Robin Tatlow-Lord gives children useful strategies to cope with their anxieties and stress, showing them how to make their own Worry Monsters leave. Available now in all good bookstores and at: https://ekbooks.org/product/go-away-worry-monster/

Posted @withregram @inthegoodbooksblog My youngest daughter has been having some trouble with getting to sleep some nights due to anxiety.
