Daisy’s Dragons: a story about feelings
£7.60
WARNING! CONTAINS DRAGONS!
Nobody but Daisy can see her dragons. Usually, they all get along in their own wonderful chaotic way, but Daisy’s dragons aren’t like ordinary dragons; Daisy’s dragons are her feelings.
So when Daisy has a very tricky day, suddenly all is not harmonious among the dragons. Sad keeps growing and growing, Angry is breathing fire at everyone and everything he sees, while Scared’s screaming is driving everybody to distraction. Now some of Daisy’s dragons feel bad. And Daisy doesn’t want bad dragons.
But Daisy soon discovers that without Angry, Sad and Scared, her other dragons are nowhere to be seen either. Could it be that to feel truly happy, calm and brave, Daisy needs all of her dragons together?
Daisy’s Dragons is a mindful metaphor that helps children understand the importance of all their emotions – even the negative ones. It addresses the necessity of difficult feelings and celebrates their capacity for self-preservation, self-esteem and reflection. After all, you can’t be brave if you’re not frightened first.
Perfect for fans of THE COLOUR MONSTER.

A lovely story, my daughter loves this (especially as her name is daisy too) and reads it nearly every night at bedtime.
The story is really good for explaining emotions and the illustrations are beautiful.
by Mrs. KA Trickett
A beautifully told story about feelings and how each and every feeling is valid and important. We loved the rhyming text and how Daisy comes to recognise that opposite feelings can complement one another and even enhance each other all beautifully shown in the art work. Recommend this as an enjoyable and thought provoking read for anyone and would be great as a conversation starter about the importance of expressing feelings.

Daisy’s Dragons is a delightful picture book about feelings and why they matter. Beautiful lyrical rhyming words by Frances Stickley are complimented by the most expressive illustrations in muted tones by Annabel Tempest. This wonderful story will help children to identify some of the emotions they experience every day and to help them to see that all feelings are valid and important in their own way. A fantastic addition to a bookshelf and a brilliant starting place for discussing well-being and emotions.

A lovely book, my daughter enjoys it. It’s all about feelings without being obvious, boring or too ‘this is a learning moment’ it’s actually a nice story 🙂
