An absorbing, therapeutic and beautifully written way into our
children's hearts and minds. I am going to be busy recommending
this book to all professionals who work with children who have/are
experiencing trauma. I wasn't sure that you could triumph your
first publication, but you certainly have. Many congratulations
Jane.

Kit Kitten and the Topsy-Turvy Feelings is a charming and
approachable book which helps young children who have experienced
insecurity, to begin to name and explore feelings. It is also a
gentle reminder to those supporting and caring for children that we
must give children our time, really listen to what they are telling
us and not rush to name feelings for them. The story of Kit Kitten
is a lovely and non-threatening way for young children to start to
explore their own experiences and to regain a sense of safety and
belonging.

The guide for grown-ups at the back of the book, and the suggested
activities, are both very good and the many faces in the book do
provide opportunity for adults to work with children identifying
different emotions.
*Youth in Mind*
The pictures are vibrant and very expressive, and with one to each
two page spread, they provide lots of information about how the two
cats feel.
