Exciting news at Big Issues for Little People HQ \u2013 Ivy and the Mole is out for pre-order now. Here\u2019s a little run down of what you can expect from the second instalment of Ivy\u2019s adventures for your info:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Ivy and the Mole about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ivy makes a down on his luck companion as she ventures into the Wildest Wood to find \u2018Pond Number One\u2019 and together the pair end up discovering as much about their own sense of self as they do about the magical landscape that surrounds them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ivy and the Mole takes a beautifully illustrated look at the journey we all take as human beings towards finding and learning to love our true selves \u2013 and how identifying that one-off superpower that lies inside each one of us is the key to taking us there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What and who is it for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My aim with all of the children\u2019s books I have written (this is the second I will have published in the series) is to help little people make sense of the world\u2019s biggest issues in an honest yet child-friendly way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ivy And The Mole is written to help children understand that just as we are all different in life, so we all have our individual strengths. The key to contentment is to recognise and play to these strengths wherever we can. It has always been my aim to be honest with my own two girls, even when they ask me big questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This book is an extension of that, and takes a child-friendly look at how our self-esteem can suffer when we view ourselves in the context of the outside world, as opposed to focusing on the person within. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where can I buy it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can put your name down to receive your copy when it is published later this month now directly from the publisher at Olympia here<\/a>, from WHSmith here<\/a>, and from Hive (among other retailers) here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Exciting news at Big Issues for Little People HQ \u2013 Ivy and the Mole is out for pre-order now.
