I am really proud to announce that Little Parachutes – an online library of picture books that help children cope with worries, health issues and new experiences (big and small) – has given Charlie and the Dog Who Came to Stay a Gold Star Award! This is only given to ‘the very best helpful picture books.’
They have given the book it’s first official review and it’s awesome – “This gentle and reassuring story should chime with any young child who is living with depression, whether it is themselves or someone else who has been affected by it. A useful tool to help children to understand depression and how it can change people’s feelings and behaviour, containing practical non-preachy guidance and coping strategies.”
