This book, \u003cem\u003eSammy Sloth\u003c\/em\u003e, has been designed to support the individual child but also to be used in whole class teaching, to encourage an empathetic and inclusive environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, we meet Sammy, a sloth who lives in a beautiful tree by the sea. The story follows Sammy as he wakes up one day to find he feels funny and strange. He can’t sit still and does not feel like his usual happy and relaxed self. After pacing up and down he meets Anna the Armadillo who tells Sammy that he is silly and has no right to be sad when his life is good. Sammy hears this and feels embarrassed and ashamed of how he has been feeling. Sammy hides away until he meets a kind lizard who shows him kindness and empathy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written with children with anxiety in mind, providing an opportunity to relate to Sammy’s thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences. However, children with a range of needs may benefit from the story. The book is written in a narrative style, so it does not use diagnostic labels and is not intended for this purpose. Instead the focus is on creating a common language which children can understand and use to make sense of how they are feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA practitioner guidebook (ISBN 9780815349419) and draw along version (ISBN 9780815349426) are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295085474165,"sku":"9780815349532","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780815349532_01087ec4-60e8-42bd-8ee7-df90692446d7.jpg?v=1786015962"},{"product_id":"get-to-know-me-depression","title":"Get to Know Me: Depression","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Get to Know Me’ resources aim to support children, along with those around them, who may have additional\/special educational needs.
