Cookie

EK Books are doing wonderful things with their publishing, creating ‘Books with Heart on Issues that Matter’, and I have loved every one of their books that take some very big issues and present them in a beautifully crafted, child-focused, and sensitive way. As with other EK books, the message in Cookie is delivered without being obvious or didactic. Looking at things from a dog’s point of view offers a different take on mental health, and is all the more authentic by being inspired by author Isabelle Duff’s own experiences, and her dog (a border collie like Cookie), who helped her through them. – Kids Books NZ“I don’t want people to think this is a negative and sad book in any way. It’s the most beautiful and gentle story. It’s a story of happiness that can be found in the most simple things. It’s beautifully told … a magical book.” – Living Art Canberra“This is such a lovely book. It’s a sensitive exploration of childhood depression and anxiety and the importance of empathy. It provides a gentle starting point for big conversations with children who are troubled “ – Literacy, Families and Learning
