This week is Children’s Mental Health Week!

Being Me is the first Children’s poetry book to address mental wellbeing in primary school children. With advice from leading developmental psychologist Karen Goodall, the book is full of poems offering support, understanding and acknowledgement of many issues encountered by growing children – all kinds of worries and thoughts around sadness, inner critics, family dynamics, friendships, bullying, differences etc. Full of comfort and kindness the book aims to give children a voice and vocabulary to express themselves and get those thoughts out in the open!

Being Me was shortlisted for the prestigious CLiPPA in 2022, was written by me, Matt Goodfellow and Laura Mucha, and is illustrated sensitively by Victoria Jane Wheeler.
