Editorial Reviews

Review

"A simple story with visual appeal and a well-crafted message." "Ghosh Ippen, a child psychologist specializing in childhood trauma, has created multiple gentle and thoughtful picture books informed by her clinical work and practice." "Readers should know that her messages are for parents, too: Here, Holdin Pott looks beyond Little Pott's messy outburst, recognizing the need for his son to learn how to safely express his feelings and that he's loved"  - Kirkus Reviews

From the Author

Our books are designed to help families begin conversations about difficult experiences and challenging feelings. We hope that they speak both to children and to the child within all of us and that they promote greater understanding of how grown-ups can partner to support children. Other books we have developed include:
  • Once I Was Very Very Scared 
  • You Weren't With Me
  • Trinka and Sam story series: A free series to help families after disasters that we developed and freely distribute in collaboration with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.
Our books are also available in Spanish:
  • Cuando no Estabas Conmigo 
  • Una Vez Tuve Mucho Mucho Miedo
