About the Inner Magic for Children series:

"As the twig is bent, so grows the tree" Alexander Pope

The 'Inner Magic For Children' series are fully illustrated, comical 'thinking stories' that help children build inner strengths and resilience in their formative years.

The stories were borne from research conducted amongst children, who identified challenges they most needed help with, which responses correspond exactly with Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs'.

All stories have a cheeky villain who represent a challenge children requested help with and a formula for overcoming it.
