Book Synopsis'An accessible entry into discussions on the complexity of feelings, this picture book will be returned to time and time again.' – Foreword Starred Review Welcome to the Grand Hotel of Feelings, where all kinds of feelings come and stay.

Gratitude likes wandering about in nature; you never know when she might come and sit by your side. Some feelings are big and some are small, some are fun and some are tricky, but all feelings must be listened to and acknowledged. After all, they’re just passing through. A beautiful and imaginative title that brings the complexities of emotional management to life with warmth, humour and a touch of Wes Anderson.

To her surprise, they are delighted, particularly Wynn! It turns out Sapling''s differences are her strengths and through sharing them, she finds friendship and acceptance.The Secret Of Sapling Green is a story for quiet children who are unsure of their place in their peer group, and the boisterous kids who rule the playground. Its whimsical watercolour illustrations will captivate young readers, and its story will inspire them to be brave and accept themselves - and each other - for who they are.
