Sensory Integration Education

The Huge Bag of Worries*

Wherever Jenny goes, her worries follow her - in a big blue bag. They are with her all the time - at school, at home, when she is watching TV and even in the bathroom! Jenny decides they have to go, but who will help her get rid of them?

The Huge Bag of Worries by Virginia Ironside (Author) and Frank Rodgers (Illustrator) provides a funny and reassuring look at dealing with worries and anxiety and can be used as a spring board into important conversations with your child.

When Sadness Comes to Call*

When Sadness arrives, try not to be afraid: give it a name, listen to it and spend some time together. Maybe all it wants is to know that it’s welcome. 

This beautiful debut book by author-illustrator Eva Eland is a picture book suitable for young children and serves as a useful aid to help children recognise and understand difficult emotions.
