The Wishing Shelf Book Awards BRONZE WINNER and winner of the prestigious MOM'S CHOICE SILVER AWARD. The Forever Tree is an interactive and nurturing narrative that helps children explore emotions, thoughts and feelings. It can be a fun and nurturing activity for a child and parent or carer (or other adult) to share together at any time - but especially at times of stress, change, sadness or difficulty. Imagine you are like the Forever Tree - seasons and weather come and pass away again. Your strong roots keep you safe and sound. Photocopy and cut out the page of different coloured leaves - these represent different emotions or situations - and use the ideas to encourage a child to talk about their feelings and thoughts. To share with a child aged seven to twelve. '...a world where children can get in touch with themselves...bright and beautiful visuals...inspiring, well thought out...' R. Dzemo, Readers' Favorite.

Bizzy Bee spends all his time flying and buzzing from flower to flower, collecting nectar and taking it back to the hive like all the other bees. It’s such a busy life —but then sometimes Bizzy knows he needs to stop and JUST BE!
This short and colourful book has a combination of text and rhyme, teaching children how to stop, be calm and peaceful, notice sights and sounds around them - and that they can do this whenever they need to and especially if they feel tired, anxious or need to “step out”.
A story that can be shared with children aged six to ten at home or school or other setting—and especially useful for children dealing with anxiety or stressful events. A fun, calming relaxation activity/meditation is included at the end of the story.
'Fun and instructive...highly recommended' Jack Magnus, Readers' Favorite five stars.
This new version has a tiny busy bee to find on each page of the story, rhyming text as part of the story and two puzzles.
Little Owl sits high up in the tree on Christmas Eve and starts to feel sleepy. But Big Owl reminds him that owls don't sleep at night and there are many wonderful things to see. Little Owl says he wishes he could be like his woodland friends and be awake to play with them during the day. Then BIg Owl tells him about all the amazing things that can be seen at night-time and how the very first Christmas unfolded at night with angels, shepherds and a journey to Bethlehem and a newborn baby - God's Son. Suddenly there is a jingling sound and soon Little Owl learns all about Santa and hangs a stocking in the tree in the hope of receiving a gift too.
A story that combines a nurturing story about being glad to be who you are with the meaning of Christmas.
At the end of the story there is a puzzle maze, a new Christmas rhyme and poem.
