Traffic! Road works! Ambulances! Where do you go when the hustle and bustle of the city gets too much?
The Spaces In Between weaves between the busy lives of several children who are all seeking secret spaces where they can go to find peace and quiet.
With themes of anxiety, fear, kindness and joy, join the children over the course of one day, and explore how each of them copes with their emotions. From the warm embrace of a loved one, finding joy by splashing through puddles, and feeling the crunch of autumn leaves on the pavement, this book is full of ideas on how to find calming spaces in the middle of the hubbub.
Tips and suggestions at the back of the book are full of ideas that are accessible to all children, wherever they are in the world.
