It’s Okay to Feel Happy is about a little girl who is finding it difficult to know if she can be excited, pleased or look forward to things now that her mummy has gone. Although she struggles with her loss, she soon learns that her mummy would want her to still enjoy her life.

Picture books from the heart, these stories reflect how important children’s mental health is and how crucial it is for them to vocalise and communicate with others about how they are feeling after a death. Beautifully illustrated by Harriet and Tim Ruscoe, they are ideal for children aged 7 - 9 years and are based on the author’s family’s own experiences.
