Arwel is fine. He is having a fine day.But yes there is a cloud above his head and yes it is growing. But he is FINE….
A fabulous picture book with beautiful illustrations that link different weather to the moods readers might experience. This story talks about negative feelings and how hiding them does not usually help. As the story unfolds, the cloud increases in size, until Arwel can not run away anymore
This story will be a great starting point to any household, nursery or classroom because talking about our feelings is important and necessary. Likewise, our mental wellbeing needs nurturing and this picture books visually shows how our worries can grow until we face them and deal with them. Children will enjoy the link between the sensory experiences of weather and the way our emotions make us feel.
What a great way to show love and support knowing that a problem shared is the best starting point to solve our worries.
