Description

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ABIA CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2024

It might not be how you imagined... at first.

Find a you-shaped space.

Let yourself!

Another warm and whimsical guide to negotiating life's little and big moments, What to Do When You're Not Sure What to Do focuses on situations outside a child's home and domestic realm where they might feel unsure. It's another gentle exploration of empathy, courage, and confidence from award-winning and much-loved author Davina Bell, with beautiful, heartwarming illustrations by Hilary Jean Tapper.

'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

'Bell writes with the soft, knowing tones of a trusted friend dispensing calm advice... A gentle, appealing concept book, sure to inspire valuable conversations about social-emotional learning' KIRKUS REVIEWS
