Reading corner

In this month’s reading corner with Helda Panagary, we’re taking a calming moment with mindfulness and meditation coach Maddy Bard’s new book, Be Happy!

Created for babies and preschool children, the book features Emma Dodd’s enchanting illustrations of Maddy’s own dogs Hucky and Buzz and explores a range of emotions, moods and feelings. In this deceptively simple book, Maddy shares her tips on boosting confidence, positivity and self-belief, lessons that are so important to learn from an early age.
