What Makes Me Do the Things I Do?

This thoughtful picture book* teaches children how to find new ways of expressing themselves. Written in child-friendly language, the book explores 12 typical behaviours that children engage in - such as temper tantrums, telling lies or cheating - and offers 12 constructive behaviours to consider instead, like staying calm, being honest or playing fairly. There are fun, colourful illustrations throughout and helpful notes for parents and carers at the back of the book, with tips for encouraging positive behaviour early on.

Not If I Can Help It

From award-winning author Carolyn Mackler, this book* tells the story of Willa, who has been living with Sensory Processing Disorder but is thrown when her dad announces he's dating Willa's best friend's mum. Willa likes certain things to be certain ways and does not like the idea of her dad and her best friend’s mum being together. Will she go along with all of these changes? NOT if she can help it! Not If I Can Help it deals with themes of neuro-disorders and changing schools with warmth and humour.

It also has other features including magnetic closure and a built-in eye mask.
