What parents are saying
Barnaby is the only book my son asks for when he's upset. It really works.
We read Barnaby Feels Worried every night for two weeks. Then my daughter started naming her feelings on her own.
Finally a book series that takes children's feelings seriously without being preachy. We love reading these together.
