Set of seven storybooks: How Monsters Wish To Feel; The Boy who Longed to Look at the Sun; The Day the Sky Fell In; The Girl who Collected Her Own Echo; The Hot and Bothered Air Balloon; A Tale of Two Fishes; The Boat Star

How Monsters Wish to Feel is a therapeutic story about a journey to develop emotional resilience. Through the analogy of monsters, it depicts a tale of how a child's needs can sometimes become distorted, so that the needs we see expressed through outward behaviour (the monster) mask the true, hidden emotional needs that go unmet.
