Reviews / Votes
A really good book, very gently written with beautiful illustrations [...] The book beautifully introduces the idea of paying attention to emotions, enjoying the good ones and problem solving the difficult ones. There is also a very good parents' section at the back with suggested probe questions and a brief explanation behind the psychology of the book." - YouthinmindMore details
