You cannot get this book wrong.\n\nA doodle book for grown-ups: for being on hold, in a meeting, or in a waiting room, with a pen and nowhere to put it. There are no prompts, no exercises and no right way. A spiral to follow in. A line to go over. A wave to ride. A pattern to carry on. Hollow words to colour in. Empty pages that count.\n\nSome pages are busy. Some are nearly empty. Both are doing the same job: giving a restless hand somewhere quiet to go. Do the thing, or your own thing, or nothing: nobody is going to look at it.\n\n * 64 pages, 190mm square \n * Paperback, or spiral-bound, so it lies flat and folds back on itself \n * Black linework throughout: works with any pen you already have \n * Printed in the United Kingdom \nNo quick fixes.

Nothing is left behind.\n\nOne finger. In to the middle, and back out again. Slowly, or not. Twice, or once, or not at all today.\n\nTrace is a book of tracks (double spirals, long meanders, slow waves, laps and switchbacks), drawn as channels wide enough for a fingertip. You follow one in and follow it out. There is nothing to finish and nothing to keep up with, and you do not have to do it again.\n\nIt works in a waiting room, on a train, at a kitchen table with somebody talking at you. It works when a pen would be one thing too many. There is no picture at the end.

Take an end. Nothing has to be said.\n\nEvery page has one track and two ends. You start at one, they start at the other, and you meet somewhere in the middle. Or you don't, and that is also fine.\n\nBetween the tracks are doodle pages made for two: shapes to close, a pattern to carry on, a box to make dark each, a word to colour in one letter at a time, half a shape for them to finish. No questions about the day. No turns. Nothing to finish and nothing to show anybody afterwards.\n\nFor the twenty minutes when neither of you has anything left. The book runs in four parts (one each, take turns, meet in the middle, whatever you like) so it goes from side by side to together without anyone having to say so.\n\n * 64 pages, 190mm square \n * Paperback, or spiral-bound, so it lies flat between you \n * For a grown-up and a child, ages 3–8 \n * Printed in the United Kingdom \nFrom the Doodle range at The Regulated Human Co.

You cannot get this book wrong.\n\nNobody doodles on a blank page. They fill in the O in a word that is already printed. They go over a line that is already there. They make a box dark. So every page in this book has something on it already: a start, made for you.\n\nA word from the Little Signals stories to colour in, with a few of its holes already done. A big thing from one of the books to make dark: the pot with its crack still showing, the door, the boot, the sleepy stone, the storm. A page of bubbles with some already filled: solid, hatched, dotted, cross-hatched, so there is more than one way and no right one. A line to go over, and over. Shapes to close. A pattern to carry on. A spiral to follow in. And then a page with nothing on it but a bean.\n\nThe pages come round in that order seven times. Fast first, then slow, then still. That is not a design choice. It is the order a body comes down in.\n\nTwo of the pages are already a mess, on purpose: one scribbled dark in the corner (this one is already a mess. you cannot spoil it), one with loops that run off the edge of the paper (go off the edge. the page does not mind). A tidy book teaches tidiness. These two teach that nothing here can be failed.\n\nThere are no instructions and no right answers. You can do the thing, or your own thing, or nothing at all. Even the words at the bottom of every page are outline letters, so those are for colouring in too.\n\n * 64 pages, 190mm square \n * Paperback, or spiral-bound, so it lies flat \n * part of the Little Signals range \n * Ages 4 to 8 (pre-K to 3rd grade in the US) \nLittle Signals is a range of quiet stories and tools for children who find things a lot: noise, waiting, changes of plan, the long evening.

It is the thing holding the day together, and when it changes the whole day tilts.\n\nWhen the Plan Changes is a story about that moment. The trip that is cancelled, the different route home, the person who was supposed to be there and is not. It takes the reaction seriously rather than treating it as an overreaction, because from the inside it is not one.\n\nThe story does not end with a child cheerfully accepting change. It ends somewhere more realistic and more useful: with the ground steadying, slowly, and the day continuing in a shape nobody chose.\n\nFor the children who need to know what is happening next.\n\nPart of Little Signals: gentle stories about what bodies do when feelings get big.

The childminder says no trouble at all. Then the front door closes and everything arrives at once.\n\nAfter the Day is a story about that. About the effort of holding yourself together somewhere that is not home, and what has to happen when you finally reach the one place it is safe to stop.\n\nIt reframes the after-school collapse as something other than bad behaviour, both for the child living it and the grown-up meeting it in the hallway at half past three. Holding on all day is work. The falling apart is what comes after work.\n\nFor the adults who get the hardest hour and none of the credit.\n\nPart of Little Signals: gentle stories about what bodies do when feelings get big.

It is hard because a busy body does not stop simply because the room has gone dark.\n\nThe Sleepy Stone is written for that. The story moves deliberately slowly, with a rhythm and a repeating image designed to be followed rather than listened to, so that a child’s breathing has something to fall in step with.\n\nThere is no lesson and nothing to answer. It is a story built to be read aloud in a low voice at the end of a long day, by a grown-up who is also fairly tired.\n\nFor the nights when everyone needs the day to be over.\n\nPart of Little Signals: gentle stories about what bodies do when feelings get big.

The stomach that will not settle before a party. The afternoon that refuses to end before a visitor arrives. The appointment that is still two sleeps away and already taking up all the room.\n\nThe Waiting is a story about that stretchy in-between time. It notices how waiting for something lovely and waiting for something frightening can feel oddly similar, and how both make time behave strangely.\n\nRather than telling children to be patient, it gives them a way of recognising the feeling, which turns out to make it considerably easier to sit inside.\n\nFor every household counting down to something.\n\nPart of Little Signals: gentle stories about what bodies do when feelings get big.
