‘Probably something that bonded us hugely was the fact we are both dyslexic… that’s why this post is even more special and writing this I feel very emotional…
‘if I could go back and tell my school friend that on the 2nd of February 2021 to mark the begin of Children’s Mental Health Week, she would publish her 1st book…
‘I’m not sure she’d believe it possible… you did it Hannah… so so proud of you… it’s a beautiful and important book. One that helps open the conversation with your little ones about how to talk about their emotions… we all need that right’.
