Bough for my son as it touches a little on death very lightly and as he’s been piecing a few things together at this age (nearly 5) I wanted to reassure him a little if he was a bit concerned. Her picture book about depression, Night Shift (Templar), was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. I would definitely use this book in a KS1 classroom linking strongly with PSHE looking into families and acceptance. Small has all sorts of questions about love, and his mummy must reassure him that her love will never, ever run out – no matter what.

Also, this book includes the issue of death and the possible death of a parent and this is something that any child would struggle with immensely and so it is great that there are books such as this one to remind children and help them with such difficult concepts and scenarios. This delightful tale tells of how Large reassures a grim and grumpy little Small answering all the questions enquiring children ask when feeling unloved or unsure.

Small tests his mother with every possibility that might cause her not to love him but her love is unshakable.In this delightfully optimistic and feel-good book, Fox and Porcupine discover that blue skies or grey, EVERYTHING is better when they're together. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. The key message behind this simple and beautiful book for small children is that the love a parent feels for a child is constant and never dies, no matter what happens. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. In desperation we pulled out "No matter what", naively assuming that as he loved the book, he might sit happily and listen to the story for a few minutes.
