What A Bunch - When Things Feel Hard

By Carlos Martiniello

Big feelings are part of growing up. But knowing what to do with them - that takes practice, patience and sometimes a little help from a friend.

When Things Feel Hard brings together four gentle stories from the world of What a Bunch, where Bowie, Ziggy and Remi navigate the moments that feel too big, too heavy or just a little too much. Through warmth, humour and the kind of friendship that holds you steady, each story meets children exactly where they are - without judgement, without rushing and without pretending feelings are something to be fixed.

Simple enough for the youngest readers. True enough to stay with them.

For every child who has ever needed to know they are not alone - and for every parent and educator who has sat beside them in that moment.

When Things Feel Hard is a What a Bunch book.
