As we have grown as a school here at Ladygrove Primary School and Nursery, it has become more and more apparent for the need to access resources which support children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.  Sarah has been on this journey with us.  From holding focused workshops on gratitude and building a positive mindset, to sharing books with a strong message to encourage self- belief, Sarah has been a powerful resource for both children and staff.  As a result of past workshops and stories in assemblies, staff often use gratitude diaries and messages of affirmation, as well as other techniques gained from Sarah’s valuable input.

Sarah is a truly inspirational writer; her stories focus on themes that children really engage with and need support to be able to understand and navigate. Sarah’s stories always promote lots of discussion between my daughter, Jessica and I. I love how Jessica’s interpretation of the characters is sometimes different to how I have read the book. This communication between parent and child really is so key to children of all ages. It is especially important when children are really finding themselves and developing skills that will support them into the next stage of learning and beyond.
