A comforting conversation unfolds through captivating rhymes and delightful illustrations, encouraging kids to recognise their feelings and show themselves the same care and kindness they offer others.

Beyond the story, you will find a guide on teaching kids self-compassion. This timeless resource supports parents, caregivers, educators and therapists to instil the seeds of self-love in young hearts.
