Conker has won the hearts of teachers and primary caregivers for its focus on talking about feelings to develop good mental health. It has become a Teachers Pick on Amazon, Good Toy Guide recommended and also won Bronze at the Junior Design Awards 2021. The key message of Climb, published November 2021, is to help children celebrate their own and others differences. The story has a subtle nod to her experience of growing up as a classic dyslexic diagnosed at the age of 5. Hannah wants to offer a little more than just a book, by taking full advantage of the multi-sensory learning opportunity’s books have to offer. The activities at the back of both books hope to open up conversations with children and primary caregivers in a safe environment to start laying the important foundations of self-regulation, good mental health and an understanding of each childs own unique world they live in.
