Beautifully illustrated, this gentle story and activity book for ages 4-8 invites children to share how they are feeling - whether happy, sad or somewhere in between, through conversation, drawings or writing. Includes links to a download poster of the Tell-Me Tree for use at home or in the classroom, tips and templates to help children draw their own tree, and links to resources for grown-ups.
A book that can be used again and again by parents, teachers and care givers, The Tell-Me Tree helps encourage discussion of feelings with friends, family and trusted grown-ups in a natural way.
Written by the bestselling author of The Secret Lake, Karen Inglis. Stunning hand-drawn pen and ink illustrations by Anne Swift.
Karen Inglis lives in Barnes, southwest London. She’s been writing ever since she was little and still has a box of her daily diaries hidden in a cupboard somewhere. She also had many pen friends in far-flung places as a child. Of course that was back in the day of handwriting and posting letters – so it often took months to get a reply!
As well as writing for children Karen writes for business, but she far prefers making up stories. Her time travel adventure, The Secret Lake, sat in a box in her office for over 10 years – she’s very glad she got it out as it’s now been enjoyed by over 300,000 readers and has been translated around the world.
Karen has two grown-up boys, George and Nick, and it was reading to them that inspired her to start writing for children.
