What reviewers are saying…
A lovely book with an important message of self-compassion, which is explained simply but powerfully.
One of the best books 📚 around to help build emotional intelligence! It’s a must read!
Simple, beautiful book helping foster compassion in children
An easy-to-read children’s book with a beautiful, kind message- speak to yourself as you would to a friend!
Beautiful drawings and story with an important message
Really enjoyed Dr Olivia Ong’s creative storybook with a great message about self-compassion. Easy to understand. Relatable. And a great example that many kids (and adults!) could imagine. Beautiful slow sloth paced pages with peaceful drawings
My daughter enjoyed the lesson from this book to be her own best friend
I just received my book today. Read it to my 12-year-old daughter. It was perfect timing. She just had a test at school this morning and she said she didn’t do well. She enjoyed the lesson from this book to be her own best friend. Thank you, Dr Olivia and Jo-Jo.
A practical and sensitive children’s book. Highly recommended!
Dr Olivia Ong and Joseph Lee have developed a simple but important children’s book about teaching self-compassion. Beautifully illustrated, with a thoughtful story, this book introduces children to the concept of self-care, kindness and sensitivity to others.
It is a trail-blasting classic for children’s self-compassion journey
My daughter gave it a 10/10! The message is so important, and I’m amazed I haven’t read about this in other children’s books anywhere else! Dr Ong is a well-known self-compassion coach for adults. It is refreshing to see this concept has been brought to children’s literature/ another platform to educate our young minds about such important life skills to build resilience. Definitely, a trail-blasting classic!
A lovely book with an important message
A lovely book with an important and positive message for children (and parents too). Would recommend.
A simple, wonderful way to initiate conversations about self-compassion with children.
My 5-year-old son loves this book, and we read it every night to prepare him for starting school and learning to be kind to himself and others.
