Do you have a child feeling anxious about starting school? Join us for a storytime aimed to help easy their anxieties.

Join author and clinical psychologist Lynn Jenkins, and illustrator and art therapist Kirrili Lonergan as they read their book Brave.

Imagination is a very natural ‘go to’ for children. It can be a source of terror (as in anxiety), BUT it can also be tapped to help them to feel calm, confident and BRAVE! Brave give children strategies to manage their worries.

Suitable for ages 5 years plus. children must be accompanied by an adult.

Books will be available for purchase and signing on the day.


About the book: Curly teaches Loppy how to manage his worries, specifically, his worries about going to school. The technique of helping children to ‘find their brave’ when faced with a challenging situation can be applied to whatever the difficulty might be.
