“I've just had a look through these books and they are such lovely books. I can't wait to use them in our Thrive sessions, and they link perfectly with the emotions work I'm planning in class. I'm really excited to read them with both the whole class and individual children who need extra support with their emotional development. There are some great ideas and activities that can come from these books too.”

Pea & Carrot: The Sad Book
A gentle picture book about sadness for ages 2-5.
Help little ones notice, name, and talk about sad feelings in everyday moments.
Pea and Carrot know just how that feels, and together their story makes the big feelings a little easier to talk about. In this story, they are having the best time when one small accident changes everything.
In a single moment something cherished is gone, leaving behind that sad empty feeling, the inside one. It is exactly the kind of moment every child knows, when the world feels a little heavier and what matters most is simply not being alone in it.
With soft illustrations and simple text, this is a story that sits quietly alongside those big moments, giving little ones and the grown-ups they love time to discover feelings together, the ones everybody can see, and the ones only you can feel.
More feelings to discover with Pea and Carrot.

What grown-ups are saying
“We have all experienced our children's balloon popping and the tears that come with it. Being able to explain the sad feeling in a soft, easy colourful way like this book is a fantastic solution :D”
