Alice Mole and the Anniversary Star Wish
Alice and her family hold tender memories together and find comfort in remembering with love.
Tender Times
Offers children a warm place to meet difficult feelings without being hurried toward a happy answer, through honest language, small participation, and steady relationships.
Emotionally honest stories that help children carry worry, sadness, change, waiting, missing, or uncertainty with safe companionship instead of rushing the feeling away.
Who This Series Is For
Who it is for: Children experiencing or exploring child-safe worry, sadness, change, waiting, missing, disappointment, absence, or tender uncertainty through shared reading with a trusted adult.
Experience: Lowers aloneness rather than simply reducing feeling, with the child emotionally central, receiving one small truthful way to participate, and supported without being asked to fix the hard thing.
