About this deal

A lovely book which supports children’s emotional well-being and mental health by promoting resilience, problem-solving and a can-do attitude when challenges occur.

From the creator of Ruby Finds a Worry, the perfect picture book for helping children embrace change. He grew up in a remote and beautiful part of South Shropshire. On reflection this seemed rather more remote than beautiful, owing to the fact that he lived in a small caravan without electricity, mains water or any sensible form of heating. He thinks that he’s probably one of the few people in his peer group to have learnt to read by gas lamp. The Big Bright Feelings picture book series provides kid-friendly entry points into emotional intelligence topics -- from being true to yourself to dealing with worries, managing anger, and making friends. These topics can be difficult to talk about. But these books act as sensitive and reassuring springboards for conversations about mental and emotional health, positive self-image, building self-confidence, and managing feelings. It is positive, entertaining and such a well-written story that children will relate to. What is so good is that Tilda brushes herself down and decides to try again. It also refrains from it being a sob story or self-centred story. It does in a fun way, promote reslience and that there will be a better day. It could also have a positive impact on children in a way that may just make them feel good inside and out and ready to try again, as Tilda does.Tilda doesn't like change. Why would she, when her life is great just the way it is? But one day, Tilda's world 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. Everything is just so different and hard. Can Tilda discover a way to move forward and embrace all this change? 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 loved how the 'topsy-turvy' feeling was left open and not given any specific reasons. This is great as often we can all feel a little out of sorts but don't know why, yet if we do know why it's very much an opportunity to discuss your own thoughts and feelings rather than have a set 'problem' discussed in the book. The book gives practical ideas and strategies children can do to help themselves feel less like their world is all upside down.

Bold, bright, and empowering, this inspiring story about coping with unexpected changes is perfect for helping children build resilience. This book would be a FAB addition to any child’s bookshelf with its bright and bold illustrations, it’s encouragement of managing feeings and it’s message to persevere and not to give up.
