A guide to teaching young children how to negotiate new experiences and big emotions with empathy and words from the heart. Speaking up can be difficult, especially in tricky situations. Whether it’s moving house, a first day at school, a trip to the hospital, being scared of the dark or losing a loved one, What to Say When You Don’t Know What to Say will help your little ones to speak up and say how they feel. An international bestseller, winner of the Australian (ABIA) Children’s Picture Book of the Year Award 2023 and the CBCA Notable Book Picture Book of the Year 2023, this picture book can lend a helping hand to children everywhere.

From much-loved author Davina Bell and exciting new illustrator, Hilary Jean Tapper.
