A comforting, magical story that shows children ways to feel calm and soothe their worries.
Alexandra Page is a children's writer. In 2019 her younger middle
grade novel, Wishyouwas, was shortlisted for the Times Chicken
House prize and won the WriteMentor Children's Novel Award, before
being published by Bloomsbury in 2021. Alexandra grew up between
England and Zimbabwe, making up stories to entertain her younger
sisters and brother. After studying English Literature she settled
in London and worked for several years in the production
departments at Penguin, Puffin and Walker Books, before becoming a
freelance project manager in the City. She loves to travel, swim
and spend time with her husband and daughter in her favourite
place, Budapest. She is the author of The Fire Fox and The Worry
Tiger, illustrated by Stef Murphy.
Stef Murphy is a freelance Illustrator and storyteller living in
Norwich. Growing up in a large family, Stef was never short of
entertainment. Armed with a foil-wrapped (usually squashed) jam
sandwich Stef and her twin brother Tom would journey through
bunkbed jungles, tunnel through secret airing cupboard caves and
out into the garden where they would find all sorts of magical
creepy crawlies. Stef's evenings were spent sewing into the night;
making sleep sacks for elves and even on one occasion, a fully
reclining armchair for an ancient fairy. Now she can be found at
her desk, immersed in the Harry Potter audio books, creating new
worlds of her own. Stef has never grown out of her love for
adventure and plans to spend the rest of her life exploring the
wonders that the world has to offer; sometimes with a pencil,
sometimes with her feet.
A gentle, reassuring picture book, with subtly incorporated
mindfulness exercises.
