Books that tap into your child’s inner voice for guidance and help

Jack is an ordinary boy who, like others, can sometimes worry - especially when dealing with change. Luckily, Jack has something, or rather someone, very NOT ordinary to help him with his day-to-day woes. 

Walter is Jack's very special friend, made with love by Jack's Grandma GP to help cope with his worries. He's squishy and cute, with long hug-me arms. And by jiminy, he also talks ... or does he? In fact, Walter is Jack’s inner voice that will self-help him through his emotional ups and downs. 

In these books, Jack and Walter together navigate feelings of anxiety and low self-confidence, whilst having a bit of fun along the way. The books are full of humour, as well as some poignant bits, and promise to be enjoyed by adults and children alike. Reading the stories can't fail to foster an affection for the loveable characters within, but also provides a conduit to help open up and talk together about feelings.

It is OK not to feel OK sometimes, but it really helps to be in touch with feelings both comfortable and uncomfortable. And having Walter by your side certainly helps!
