Sydney and the Sloth

Overview

These creative and innovative titles look at key issues surrounding mental health in children today. Through original stories and beautiful hand-drawn illustrations, these books take us on a journey through some common mental health issues, and show us what it’s like when an anxious rabbit won’t leave you alone, or a jumpy monkey won’t let you concentrate.

Readers can learn about the effects of living with a mental health condition, and explore coping strategies in an interesting and engaging way.

Note from Books for Young Minds: Sydney feels really sad and he’s felt sad for a long time. Sloths weighs him down and makes him feel miserable. A teacher takes Sydney to the school counsellor for some help.
