Open arms.
A friendly face.
Showing how.
Showing up.
A warm-hearted exploration of some of the big and small ways we can all make a difference in the world, no matter our age - at home, around the neighbourhood, at school and in the community.
How to Help When You Really Want to Help explores everyday situations, sharing how to spot opportunities for helping others and showing the comfort, happiness and satisfaction that helping can bring.
From award-winning and much-loved author Davina Bell and critically acclaimed illustrator Hilary Jean Tapper, How to Help shows little readers how to be an active participant in making the world a kinder place, no matter your age.
Praise for What to Say When You Don't Know What to Say and What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do:
'A soothing story with gentle tips on how to respond with compassion and care when life gets tricky ... The ideal book to gently encourage young readers to open up about their feelings' Sydney Morning Herald
'A compassionate guide for children navigating unfamiliar situations and emotions . . . Bell's text interplays tenderly with Tapper's vignettes, spotlighting significant everyday moments and challenges . . . The book imparts strategies without being didactic' THE GUARDIAN, Best Australian Children's Books of 2023
