This beautifully illustrated and sensitive fairy tale has been created for children experiencing feelings of anxiety. With engaging and gentle illustrations to help prompt conversation, it tells the story of a boy who is taught by an animal-guide how to live in the present rather than fear the future. This book is also available to buy as part of the Therapeutic Fairy Tales, Volume 2 set, which includes The Waves and The Sky Fox.

Therapeutic Fairy Tales Volume 1 (2021) and Volume 2 are both a series of short, modern tales dedicated to exploring challenging feelings and life situations that might be faced by young children. Each fairy tale is designed to be used by parents, caregivers, and professionals as they use stories therapeutically to support children’s mental and emotional health.
