Recenzii

"The Wavesintroduces the reader to a powerful story of the Girl who is consumed by her catastrophic thoughts driven by OCD. As someone who has had OCD in the past, The Waves, was sensitive, engaging and beautifully illustrated to try and help others understand the Girl’s internal world. It captures the feeling of being trapped by OCD so very well, and the way it can distance you socially from those around you. It also helps explain to other children why a child might behave in a certain way. But the story is also one of hope, how to help break the cycle of negative and magical thinking so often associated with OCD. This would be a wonderful book to be used in a range of places, from the home to school to therapy offices. I will start by buying it for myself and my own children."
Sarah Johnson, Director, Phoenix Education Consultancy
"I loved this book! It was insightful, well-illustrated and had engaging verses. The subject was handled sensitively, but directly which is a strength. It is validating to read and the narrative use of waves to illustrate fears and calm was excellent. I liked the co-regulation that occurred between the child and animal-helper, who guided her through her experiences of OCD and intrusive thoughts. The illustrations are beautiful and bring the story together – lovely images to get lost in. I have not read any other books that write about OCD in this way, and it certainly intrigued me. I can imagine this book being used by parents, schools and therapists."
Kerry Murphy, author and lecturer in early years and SEND, Goldsmiths University
"The Waves reminds us of the importance of warmth, connection and flow when suffering difficulties. Weaving together a sensitive story with beautiful images, The Waves shows us how to navigate the big waves of thoughts and feelings."
Molly Wolfe, Art Psychotherapist, Sandplay Specialist
"Learning to be calm and ‘in the moment’ when experiencing difficult feelings such as loneliness, sadness, worry or fear is a really important core life skill that helps us cope with everyday ups and downs as well as with more stressful situations. This set of three therapeutic fairy stories cleverly explains how we can learn to do this through connecting with nature. A truly wonderful set of resources – of value to us all and in particular to those with emotional or mental health difficulties."
