It's the book birthday for The Space Between, illustrated by Fiona Lumbers. It comes at the perfect time, as I celebrate coming through the space between with something I've been struggling with.
"Sometimes the space between is longer than at others, but you'll always come through it eventually."🌷💛

Each child in the session made a 'feelings jar' to take home, reminding them that everyone has feelings and that recognising them can help us to learn, grow and thrive. It was inspiring to see young people engaging in conversations about self-care and resilience! #AsaGilland #EverythingChanges
