Author: Josh Pyke

Publisher: Scholastic Press; 1st edition (1 September 2023)
Recommended Reading age: 4 - 8 years but we think kids up to 12 years of age will love it too!
Author Description: Some problems seem heavy, they can weigh you down. Your mind feels too cluttered, the world seems too loud! Sometimes your brain feels full up and crowdy. Your mood swings from sunny to suddenly cloudy. We're full to the brim with unknowable things, but your head's not the place to store problems in. A whimsical and wise picture book on navigating life's ups and downs, from two multi-award-winning creators.
Review: We were very lucky to attend a great family friendly gig, book reading & book signing for this book in early September with Josh Pyke and Stephen Michael King and Small Fry Rock. This beautiful book is Josh Pyke’s latest picture book and a special one with Josh Pyke’s childrens’ favourite illustrator Stephen Michael King. The gorgeous and bountiful illustrations along with the kind rhyming words make this thoughtful book a mindful read. I thought this was the perfect book for us as the kids are getting older and things get a little more complicated with friends and school where small or big problems can cloud their minds. Reading it to them, it helped put our minds a bit more at ease that next time we are worried, we can share these worries together. A great message that everyone should take on board, adults included.
Love the cute illustration of the dogs basking with a guitar, fitting for Josh Pyke :)
