Feeling lonely may be completely natural and something everyone experiences at least sometimes, but it can make children very upset and scared.
Here, Teckentrup explores moments of lonliness with characteristic sensitivity – moments when the world seems far away, and we struggle with the weight of the silence that surrounds us when loneliness casts its shadow. In a world where many children and adults suffer from intense feelings of isolation, this calm and empathetic book can help young readers recognise their feelings and put them into words. It explains that being lonely is sad and difficult, but also part of everyday life – everyone knows what it feels like. And it offers a glimmer of hope: even in the darkest hour, light and connection aren’t far away.
A beautiful and important book for all who want to explore the topic of loneliness with their child.
• A uniquely sympathetic, sensitive book by an expert in the topic
• An empowering book for therapists, teachers, parents and anyone wanting to explore loneliness with young children
• This is the third of Teckentrup’s important books about dealing with your feelings
