The Spaces In Between

 The Spaces In Between 

by Jaspreet Kaur

Review: 

There are lots of reasons why children may become overwhelmed or anxious in busy and crowded places. 

This is a beautiful book to help them understand that it’s ok to feel that way and guide them so some simple strategies that will help them self regulate and cope in those situations. 

The illustrations are bold and there are plenty of things to spot. Perfect for aiding discussion with children and developing language skills as well. 

I very much enjoyed sharing this book with my little bookworm who is 6. She already enjoys mindfulness and often does her breathing - it was nice for her to be able to pick up new ideas on her own through the story. It’s accessible nature means that she can be more independent it taking tips from it. Perfect for children who may be reluctant to seek out or accept advice. 

This really is a valuable book that would be perfect in schools and libraries as well as homes. A serious topic conveyed through a simple journey story that makes it ideal for children. 

I would love to know if there were plans for more of these books in different settings? 

Thank you for letting me be part of the tour.

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
