Olive’s Day

Meet Olive - a wonderful, funny, and thoughtful girl who sees the world a little differently. She has PDA - Pathalogical Demand Avoidance - which means everyday things can sometimes feel like giant demands. In this beautifully illustrated and insightful story, Olive takes us through a day in her life, sharing the clever strategies she, her family, and her teachers use to help her feel understood, included, and empowered.

Beneath Olive’s fun adventures lies a practical and supportive guide. Teachers will find PDA-friendly strategies to create flexible and inclusive classrooms. Parents discover relatable and practical ways to understand their child’s PDA-related behaviours and to support them at home. Children with PDA will see themselves reflected in Olive’s journey and learn from her clever strategies, helping them feel understood and empowered.

Willow’s Day

Willow's day started like any other-but soon spiralled into what she calls a "super sorry day."

One misunderstanding led to another, and before long, feelings were hurt and everything felt a little tangled. Willow was left feeling gloomy and stuck. With the gentle guidance of her mum, the kindness of her teacher Mr Beech, and the steady wisdom of Granny, an engineer who builds bridges, Willow begins to find her way through. Together, they help her talk about her feelings, listen with care, and take brave steps to mend what was broken. Along the way, Willow learns that saying sorry with with honesty, and accepting apologies with compassion, can build even stronger bridges than before.

This engaging and accessible book is a valuable resource for educators, parents, and children, introducing the foundational practices of restorative justice in a simple, child-friendly way. It gently guides readers in exploring empathy, emotional repair, responsibility, and accountability, offering a thoughtful first step towards healing harm and moving beyond traditional punishment.

Featuring a dyslexia-friendly font and colour-coded pages to support emotional regulation and accessible reading.
