About this deal

What book do you wish you had written?‘How I came up with the meaning of life – A true story’ by Tom Percival. Because then I’d have nothing to keep me up at night! What inspired you to write your latest book?The book Herman’s Letter first popped into my head when my girlfriend gave me a limited edition screen print by an illustrator called Simon Tozer of a bear holding a letter. The picture is called ‘The Last Post’ and I just loved the bear’s melancholy expression and wondered what he was doing carrying the letter and who it was for. My brain set to work on it and eventually came up with Herman’s Letter. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without my brain sometimes - it really is remarkably useful. Bold, bright, and empowering, this inspiring story about coping with unexpected changes is perfect for helping children build resilience. Tom Percival, as expected, has created a positive and inspiring story about dealing with challenging situations and believing in yourself. This book is the ideal pathway into conversations about resilience and I can already foresee it being the front of circle times within my Y1 classroom….especially within the first weeks of the new school year. I also found it an excellent read with my 5yo son, who struggles with resilience. Reading about Tilda in a book allowed for a new viewpoint rather than the same reassurances from mum and dad. As with all the other books in the series, Tilda Tries Again is the perfect addition to all primary school libraries and book corners and can be woven into the curriculum with great ease.

Jon Klassen. I have a huge amount of time for Jon Klassen’s hyper-minimal style, it’s SO stark and yet so full of character and humour. Very impressive. Read up to ‘Everything was just right. Until one day, Tilda’s world turned…’ and then write a new version of the story from that point. The 40-year-old, who was a scrum-half for Leeds Rhino and Great Britain, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in 2019 and uses special technology to communicate.Tilda's world is just as she likes it . . . until one day, it turns completely UPSIDE DOWN. All of a sudden, everything is topsy-turvy, and nothing feels right. Things that were once easy now seem incredibly challenging.

The part of the story where Tilda's world is turned 'upside down' is a brilliant point in the story to help children think about and discuss their own feelings. Have you ever felt like this? What made you feel the same way? What did you do? What could Tilda do next? I really like the way the author didn't say what had happened to make Tilda unhappy as it allows children to think for themselves.

I think these books are amazing, necessary and perfect for small kids to start getting familiar with different feelings and emotions. From the creator of Ruby Finds a Worry, the perfect picture book for helping children embrace change.
