Whispa and the Waves

by Ffion Jones, Elena Mascolo

Overview

A powerful and practical picture book exploring anxiety and mindfulness Whispa the mermaid worries about everything. Until, one starry night, her worries spiral into a storm. Although the storm so big that she almost gives into it, she focusses on a happy memory from childhood, a kinder inner voice which tells her that she knows what to do to calm the storm. Through mindful relaxation techniques, Whispa manages to calm the waves and make her way back to shore. Other storms will come, but she knows she will be able to ride the waves. Inspired by a desire to help her daughter in her struggle with anxiety, Whispa and the Waves is a book that hopes to help children explore other ways of responding to these feelings, empowering them to overcome the waves and giving them the strength to calm the storm.
