The Sparkling Leaf

Gently Wave Those Thoughts Away

A calming guide for children with big feelings and busy minds.

The book gently introduces children to the idea that they can pause, use their imagination and allow difficult thoughts to pass. It’s the story behind the Sparkling Leaf visualisation technique, and it can be brought to life through story time, visualisation and creative follow-on activities.
