Abstract

Mouse and her animal friends are rudely disrupted from the comfort of their homes by a big storm! Waking up away from home, together they must find their way back despite feeling scared and lost.

Written in rhyme along with easy-to-follow diagrams and instructions for giving simple hand reflexology to a child, this book will help parents soothe children, especially those who experience anxiety or have sensory regulation difficulties.

Beautiful illustrations accompany the reflexology techniques which are easy to use to provide a calming experience to a child. No prior reflexology knowledge is required.

I cannot recommend this book enough! My three boys have benefited hugely from this story so much so that I also attended the additional needs course. It's fantastic having another tool in the box and my eldest son has been able to use the techniques at school independently when he is becoming anxious. Everyone who has a child with additional needs should learn this.

This book will teach you and your child how to use hand reflexology as a self-calming tool. The charming story about a group of animals who experience an unexpected storm is beautifully illustrated and has simple diagrams on each page. It's a lovely way to connect with and reassure your child.
