17.01.2022 The 'Being You is Enough' series of books resonates deeply with children who may feel different in some way, whether it’s learning difficulties, anxiety, ADHD, they’re on the Autism Spectrum, have a chronic illness or a mental and or physical disability. The Being You is Enough Series will help with self acceptance, self regulation and emotional regulation. Other key points: ... - Easy to read for different reading levels, even for the most reluctant reader! - Short sections that can be read in small bite size bits or all at once. - Fun cartoon like illustrations that all kids can relate to. - Simple language that talks directly to kids about how they’re thinking and feeling. - Good mix of humour that every child can enjoy, no matter what they’re going through. - Helps them feel not so alone. - Recommended by child psychologists, mental health experts, teachers, librarians and parents. You can get signed copies for Christmas - Australia only though. https://joshlangley.com.au/shop/

03.01.2022 I've started three big projects right at the time of year when I should be slowing down. But hey, I love what I'm doing so it's worth it.
