Beautifully illustrated picture book to help parents to explain an autism diagnosis to their child in a sensitive, positive and accurate way
He may be hopeless when it comes to punctuality, but we still get to spend time together and have fun, so that’s OK.
When a child is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, parents often feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to communicate the diagnosis to their child. This beautifully illustrated picture book helps parents to explain autism to their child in a sensitive, positive and accurate way using clear language that speaks directly to the child.
A gently satirical picture book for all ages demonstrating that where neurological difference is concerned there is no ‘normal’ Johnny is different. He is never exactly on time, he can’t seem to stick to a routine and he often speaks in cryptic idioms. Johnny is neurotypical, but that’s OK. A picture book with a difference, Why Johnny Doesn’t Flap turns the tables on common depictions of neurological difference by drolly revealing how people who are not on the autistic spectrum are perceived by those who are. The autistic narrator’s bafflement at his neurotypical friend’s quirks shows that ‘normal’ is simply a matter of perspective.

“
A charmingly written book about a little boy who faces the difficulties of OCD. Easy to read and accessible to a younger child, I can see it being very helpful to broach the subject of confronting OCD in a way that doesn’t seem overwhelming. This book shows OCD as the curable illness it really is, and explains how fighting the “foibles” should be done.

A delightful book, beautifully presented and engaging. It creates a stimulating and sensitive platform to explore the very personal characteristics of an individual with autism. When something exciting happens, Johnny doesn’t respond like you would expect. He doesn’t ap his arms or jump up and down. He just moves the sides of his mouth up and slightly widens his eyes.

Explains to children with ASD how, just like a computer saves and shares files, people remember and share their impressions of each other This highly visual social skills book uses computer metaphors and visual diagrams to help children on the autism spectrum to understand how their words and actions can affect other people. Easily identifiable computing and social networking metaphors are used to explain how memories are saved in the brain, like files in computer folders, and how, just as files can be shared and downloaded on the internet, people learn about you by sharing their positive and negative impressions with each other. The author explains why certain actions may be ‘liked’ or ‘disliked’ by others, and offers guidance on appropriate and inappropriate social behavior. This book also features photocopiable worksheets.

A simple and adorable picture book about learning to go poo in the toilet!
A vibrant, loveable picture book, about the triumph of love over the upsets of momentary crossness!
A Story about Trouble with Toilet Training
“This is Liam. Every day Liam eats lots of good food. Each time Liam eats, his tummy gets fuller and fuller… and fuller… until Liam’s tummy starts to stretch.” Successful toilet training is a time of celebration for both parents and child. It marks the end of dirty diapers and a forward step in the development of a child. Fraught with both stress and triumph, the period of toilet training can take from days to months. For a typical child, learning to gain control over the body’s internal stimuli can be at best challenging. For many children, however, these internal cues can be overwhelming and confusing, leading to both a frustrating and traumatic toileting experience. Liam Goes Poo in the Toilet illustrates the relationship between eating and excreting. It provides visual instructions on how to “relax and push”. After much fanfare, Liam finally masters going ‘poo’ in the toilet, and both he and Mum bask in the glory of a job well done.

Frog is very worried as he has an important speech to make at his school assembly. The speech is about breathing and he doesn’t know a thing about it! He asks his friends for help and they teach him different techniques. Can any of these breathing techniques calm his nerves before the big speech?
“Which is why,” she continued, “when I think about the Sun Sequence a bright glow appears above my head.” “Thank you and goodbye,” said the Crab in his soft voice. Crab sat happily on the chair, a bright glow above his head. He would rather sit on the chair now than hide behind the rock. A wide smile swept across Seahorse’s face as she glided easily in and out of the coral. Seahorse was happy and ready to deal with whatever the sea-day had to bring. She thought to herself, “Who else can I help today?”

A heart-breaking but ultimately uplifting storybook to help children aged 6+ come to terms with loss by suicide It is a beautiful spring day, and Luna is having a picnic in the park with her family, wearing her Mum’s red hat. Luna’s Mum died one year ago and she still finds it difficult to understand why. She feels that it may have been her fault and worries that her Dad might leave her in the same way.

This beautifully-illustrated storybook is designed as a tool to be read with children aged 6+ who have experienced the loss of a loved one by suicide. Suicide always causes shock, not just for the family members but for everyone around them, and children also have to deal with these feelings. The book approaches the subject sensitively and includes a guide for parents and professionals by bereavement expert, Dr Riet Fiddelaers-Jaspers. It will be of interest to anyone working with, or caring for, children bereaved by suicide, including bereavement counsellors, social workers and school staff, as well as parents, carers and other family members.

A storybook with in-built strategies to help children cope with the death of a loved one When Mia learns that her mother has died, all the colour in her world changes to a dreary grey. She feels guilty, angry, sad and lost (sometimes all at once!), and she doesn’t know what to do to feel better. Little by little, with the help of her Dad, Mia learns how to cope with her difficult feelings. Together, they remember her mother by creating memory boxes, and they even get rid of anger by crazily sloshing paints and punching holes in newspapers! In the end, Mia finds her own, very special way of coping. When she feels sad or lonely, she looks up to the stars. Full of practical strategies, this storybook for children aged 5-9 addresses loss, grief and hope. Written from the perspective of Mia who has experienced the sudden death of her mother, it covers the different stages of grief, from initial disbelief, anger and sadness to resolution and hope. The book highlights the importance of giving children the time and space to work through their feelings and provides a host of thoughtful activities to help them cope. It also addresses some of the questions children commonly ask about death.

Starving the Anger Gremlin
“
The book is enormously practical, using quizzes, crosswords and wordsearches to encourage readers to interact and consolidate their learning, and giving plenty of opportunity to record thought, discoveries and progress. It also uses many examples from the experience of other worried youngsters, which bring added clarity to theory and practice... I’m convinced that this book will offer great help to young sufferers from anxiety, especially when supported in using it. I think it would be a great asset to therapists and parents of anxious youngsters, and it also provides a very useful resource for teachers dealing in any pastoral capacity with anxious youngsters. - BACP Children & Young People

A warm, fun-filled graphic novel for children with a difference: the hero is Ben, a boy with Asperger Syndrome When Ben and his friend Andy find an old bottle in the school yard, little do they know of the surprises about to be unleashed in their lives. Bound up with this exciting mystery is the story of how Ben is diagnosed with AS and how he and his family deal with the problems and joys that come along with it.
Designed for use in schools, this comic teaches children about restorative justice through the story of Jake and Ryan. After a misunderstanding between Jake and Ryan leads to a fight in the playground, both boys are left feeling angry and fearful about what might happen when they see each other again. Rather than keeping Jake and Ryan apart, their teacher arranges a restorative meeting to allow the boys to understand the situation from the other’s perspective and transform their negative emotions into positive ones.
“
This delightful comic book is a wonderful narrative about how stories come together and, with the right process, can bring healing. It will be a worthy addition to resources aimed at primary school students and a useful platform to explain restorative problem-solving to young people. I can’t wait to have my own copy to show to schools and parents. - Margaret Thorsborne, restorative consultant, practitioner, trainer and author
“
Not just a solid exercise in taking an already successful work and reimagining it for a new readership but also an object lesson in how to adapt material in a way that makes full use of the exclusive storytelling potential of the comics form. We need to see far more graphic medicine aimed at a younger readership like this that never patronises its target audience but informs and elucidates through the remarkable communicative power of sequential art. 10
“It's short and sweet, pretty fun on its own merits, but even better because it teaches about a group of kids on the autism spectrum. Rating: Pretty Darn Good.” - Newbery and Beyond

A graphic memoir about living with anxiety and finding help through a therapist Frank and full of gentle humor, Terian Koscik's graphic memoir shares her experiences of living with anxiety, finding the courage to see a therapist, and learning more than she could have imagined. Even in childhood anxious thoughts would seep into Terian's day. Yet she never thought that getting professional help was for her, simply concluding that her problems weren't "real" problems (a lion hadn't devoured her whole family, for example). But when her anxiety finally became overwhelming, she knew it was time to see a therapist. To her surprise, Terian learned endless coping techniques through her therapy sessions. She shares how mindfulness strategies helped her observe anxious thoughts without criticizing them, and how "I" statements encouraged her to express feelings more openly in relationships. But perhaps the most important thing she learned was that there really is no "right" way to feel.
