How Hattie Hated Kindness

Dr. Margot Sunderland is a credentialed child therapist and this series is widely used in UK schools and clinical settings for good reason — the metaphorical storytelling gives kids a safe way to approach emotions they cannot yet name. The accompanying professional guidebook makes it genuinely useful rather than just heartwarming. It is not a pleasure read-aloud for every night, but for a child locked in cycles of anger or guardedness, this is exactly the right tool.
