How Monsters Wish to Feel and other picture books

This set of seven therapeutic storybooks contains stories that each tell of a different journey centred around a particular theme, such as emotional resilience, self-care, friendship, stress, resilient thinking, and dealing with loss.

Designed for use alongside the guidebook Nurturing Emotional Resilience in Vulnerable Children and Young People (ISBN: 9781909301856), these beautifully illustrated storybooks will appeal to all children, and can be used by practitioners, educators, and parents as a tool to discuss emotional resilience and other important issues with children.

How Monsters Wish to Feel is a therapeutic story about a journey to develop emotional resilience. Using the analogy of the Japanese art of Kintsugi, whereby broken pottery is restored to wholeness with a golden lacquer, the story alludes to the importance of focusing on the strengths and protective factors in a child's life, rather than the problems and risks, in order to promote emotional resilience.

The set includes:

• How Monsters Wish to Feel: A Story about Emotional Resilience (ISBN: 9781909301849)
• The Boat Star: A Story about Loss (ISBN: 9781138308824)

• The Tale of Two Fishes: A Story about Resilient Thinking (ISBN: 9781138308848)
