Willow’s Woodland Worry

a hardback PB, for readers aged 4-9, published by The Mindful Mama Space.

Willow is a woodland squirrel, who wakes up feeling anxious on the day of her birthday party. The noise, the commotion and being the centre of attention is all too much. She would much rather stay in her cosy bed, high up in her treehouse. But along comes a mystical, magical shapeshifting owl, who helps her navigate her worries throughout the day to build her inner strength and self-belief.

Written by a paediatric Occupational Therapist, this rhyming picture book was created to help children (and adults), who find celebrations and life, a little overwhelming. This gentle story helps readers understand and accept themselves, whilst offering practical, sensory and mindfulness strategies that they can use in their everyday lives.

Purchase this heart-warming and beautifully illustrated story HERE.
