I’d recommend it for all parents.' - Prof Sam Wass, Child Psychologist and Neuroscientist 'This book is a beautiful exploration of the all-too-common feelings of overwhelm and worry and acts as a sensitive guide to how young readers can cope when faced with their own very big thoughts … a sweet and supportive story… This is a gentle and hopeful read with a message of self-compassion.' Inis Magazine, CBI There are times when I don’t feel like myself. In these wobbly moments, my belly feels sick, my heart thumps, and sometimes I even want to cry. And that's because I'm worried. I call my worries … BIG THOUGHTS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEveryone has worries: BIG THOUGHTS. These Big Thoughts can be invisible, but loud – nobody else can hear the racket they make inside your head. Big Thoughts can be about the future – things that haven't and won't ever even happen – or about the past. Big Thoughts can even be make-believe. That's the annoying thing about Big Thoughts … they don't always tell the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her distinctively fizzy voice, Laura Dockrill connects with her readers – making them feel completely seen and heard – and offers children very real coping strategies to calm their worried minds; strategies they can carry with them throughout their lives. Richly detailed and emotive illustrations from Ashling Lindsay make this a vital read to reassure the anxious minds of children of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507707224439,"sku":"9781529533002","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781529533002","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
