What If ... ?.....

By Kirrili Lonergan and Lynn Jenkins

Issy uses the words & what if' a lot. What if there is a monster in my cupboard? she wonders before going to sleep. Or What if my floor turns into quicksand and swallows my bed? For her, & what if' are two little words that start worries and lead to uneasy feelings. But maybe they can be used for something a little more fun

Share Issy's wonder and excitement as her mum shows her that asking & what if' can lead to imaginative adventures far beyond the everyday. After all, What if trees had cupcakes hanging from their branches instead of leaves? Or the clouds were purple and orange and green? These kind of & what ifs' are what this creative and hopeful story is all about.

Showing children that their & what ifs' can lead to feelings of fun, happiness and freedom is key in teaching them how we can change the way we feel simply by changing the way we choose to think. Written by an experienced author/clinical psychologist and illustrator/art therapist duo, What if? is an exploration of how little worriers think, and how they can choose to turn those worries into wonders.

Young children, parents, carers, teachers and therapists alike will find methods to manage anxiety and to open conversations about worry in this playful and accessible tale. Plus, kids will love the imaginative adventures their & what ifs' can create
