My Monster and Me cover

The very first picture book from the winner of The Great British Bake Off and national treasure, Nadiya Hussain, beautifully illustrated by Ella Bailey.

A touching story about a little boy whose worry monster follows him everywhere he goes. It's there when he gets dressed, when he wants to play with his toys, and even when his friends come over to visit. How can he escape his worries?

Having suffered with panic disorder herself for as long as she can remember, Nadiya wrote this heartfelt story to help give children and parents the tools they need to talk about worries and anxiety, to ensure that no child suffers in silence.

This would be a great book to share at home and in a learning setting. It could result in a child expressing how they truly feel and equally a great one representing that talking about your feelings really matters.
Ella Bailey's expressive illustrations truly bring the story to life and are in keeping with its target audience of young readers. It's also great to see a diverse male character as the main character highlighting that we all have feelings and can all be emotional regardless of our gender.
