The storybook is written and drawn with warmth and senstivity, and the accompanying guide is packed full of information and personal experience. Dr Sam Warner, consultant clinical psychologist Otis Doesn't Scratch addresses self-harm and its effects through the eyes of a young boy, worried about his mother. The result is thought-provoking and touching. A valuable – and comforting –resource for parents, teachers, children and anyone affected by similar issues. I found it very moving.

Reviews of 'Not Ready Yet!'
"A firm favourite in our house - our son often asks for it. We particularly like the fact that Jay just happens to have two mums... and that he is a fellow fan of camping! Lovely words and illustrations too. " -Deafpower "This book is loved in our house. Our 6 year old daughter does not bat an eye-lid at the incidental two mum family; she loves to shout out the "not ready yet" response!" -Rachel |
