Knowing a Poem

My Teddy Has a Fright by Charles Thompson

Sometimes my teddy
has a fright
when there’s a squeak
or creak at night,
so I cuddle him
and hold him tight,
until he says
he feels alright.

This poem could open up loads of conversation about feelings and emotions.  Could you find out what your children do if they have a fright?  This poem would also work fantastically well with teddy props to cuddle and hold tight!

What, Why, Wonder

Slow Down by Rachel Williams and Freya Hartas

This beautiful book contains 50 short stories and observations on Nature.  A gorgeous resource to share at group time or to share 1:1 in a moment of connection.  This book will support you and your children to slow down, calm down & take some time to share in something wonderful.

5 Books we love

A brilliant, playful story which will support your children to talk about when they might have felt angry & frustrated. We love how Barbara’s Wobbler helps her to figure out how to feel a bit calmer! This book validates big emotions & gives useful language for all the different types of cross that your children might feel.

This beautiful book explores themes of self-expression, bravery, confidence & creativity.  It is OK to colour outside the lines… mistakes are how we learn!

This beautifully simple picture book is like a warm hug. The story is of a curious little owl who is excited and happy about the world and its colours. She can’t believe her eyes and is wowed by the green of trees and the grey of the rainy clouds. It is a wonderful feel good picture book that is warm and cheery to share together.

A boy goes on a magical adventure to find his lost toy… 

This book will spark loads of great conversation about feelings of loss, worry, excitement, hope & Love.

A real treat to explore together, wonderful illustrations and a relatable story that will hold meaning for our youngest readers.

What you feel is who you are…

Explore the world of emotions with this stunning peep-through book.  The Lyrical text and enchanting illustrations bring each emotion to life to help children understand the universal and unique nature of feelings.
