What others are saying
This is a lovely, calm and informative book about how it might feel to be lonely. I like that it involves everyone, and shows that it might look different for everyone. I also liked that we are shown how to combat loneliness, by finding our own comfort group, a hobby, or encouraging you to speak out and make your time fun.
The illustrations in this book are beautiful, the colours are meaningful and the tips at the end are an added touch.
Have you ever experienced loneliness in your childhood, which has made you process things differently than other kids, more defensive and reactive to small problems? Maybe then you had no help around you to actually process it, but wouldn’t you feel better that young children could make sense of it earlier to live a better fruitful life. Well, this book covers all aspects of it.
This book covers all possible areas where young children feel the precursors of loneliness, making sense of this emotion and finding a way out of it.
This book is written for both children and parents, especially covering tips to recognize signs of this feeling and help their children better.
This was a really beautiful book to read. I wish I had access to this book to process this emotion in a better way rather than setting up walls to protect myself.
The artwork was beautiful, adding a lot of warmth for the reader to feel like it’s okay to feel this way.This is a wonderful children’s book exploring the theme of loneliness. What loneliness is, how and when we might feel it and what we can do about it. This book is a great introduction to this topic for young children. It’s written in language that is easy to understand and children can relate to, alongside the lovely illustrations.
I read this book with my 5 year old niece and she talked about being ignored by her friends. Also I had to explain to her how she might feel lonely even when she is with family, I think she was a bit of a surprise by that.
Before we got to any of the suggestions of what you could do when feeling lonely, my niece said she would go and ask someone to play. I think this book would useful in an education setting in regards to mental health and wellbeing and could help children open up and speak out when they might be feeling lonely.
