The nightingale and the bear

The story of the nightingale and the bear describes how we can deal with bullying. It is also about learning why it is important to stand up for yourself, for others and for issues that really matter to you.

At one level this is a story about bullying. At another it uses the events of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 to help parents make sense of events like these with their children.

How the pelican got its name

The pelicants are bored and listless. Whenever they have an opportunity to do something interesting, they say “no!”. But two of the pelicants decide they will have a go.

How the pelican got its name is about having a sense of self-worth, being prepared to try things even though you’re not sure you can do it… and finding out that it can be fun.

I’m delighted to support this charming book as a positive tool to support and empower children from an early age to think about their mental toughness, and to build their own coping strategies.A valuable and much needed resource!
