What is My Whirly Twirly Mind about?

When a young girl’s thoughts begin to spin like a storm, concentrating, sleeping and staying calm become difficult. With support from a caring grown-up, she discovers that busy minds and big feelings can be understood rather than feared. Through gentle rhyme, playful imagery and simple grounding exercises, she learns to pause, breathe and find her centre. This reassuring picture book helps children recognise worry and emotional overwhelm while introducing mindful ways to manage racing thoughts and regain a sense of calm.
