The Hurry: A Little Signals Story About Going Too Fast

£10.99
Some children arrive everywhere slightly before they mean to. Words come out too quickly, feet go before the plan does, and the day turns into a chase. The Hurry is a story about that feeling from the inside. It follows what happens when a body speeds up and cannot find the brake, and it does not treat this as naughtiness or something to be trained out. It treats it as a signal, which is what it is. Gently, without instruction or moralising, the story shows a way of noticing the hurry and letting it settle, so a child has something to recognise the next time it happens. For the adults who spend a lot of their day saying wait. Part of Little Signals: gentle stories about what bodies do when feelings get big. For children aged 4–8. A children's picture book. *Printed to order. Dispatched within 3–5 working days.
