Series: Helping children with feelingsPublication details: Routledge 2001Description: 33 unnumbered pages : color illustrations ; 30 cmISBN: 9780863884962 (paperback)Subject(s): Emotions in children | Emotions -- Juvenile fiction | Emotions | Emotions in children | Emotions | Bullying | Anxiety | Self-esteem | Social skillsSummary: A Nifflenoo Called Nevermind is story for children who bottle up their feelings. Nevermind always carries on whatever happens! Each time something horrible happens to him he just tucks his feelings away and carries on with life, trying to convince himself to "never mind" bullying behaviour, falling into puddles and treading on jellyfish. But eventually, Nevermind must let his feelings out even though he’s afraid of what will happen. He begins to understand that his feelings do matter, and learns to express them and stand up for himself. This book will help children to recognise that their feelings are valid and that suppressing their emotions can be harmful. This message is communicated humourously through depictions of bad luck (the zoo is locked when he goes to visit) and the unkind behaviour of others (nasty comments, not sharing, stealing), with well-judged use of colour to underpin the message. This series is designed to help children who are troubled in their lives. The stories act as vehicles to encourage children to think about and connect with their feelings.
