Beautifully illustrated, this important storybook encourages young school children to understand and talk openly about their feelings.

Let’s join Jessie, Hanna, Akira, and Hassan for a day at school! They wriggle through show-and-tell. Cartwheel at break time. Draw in the classroom. But even a good day at school can have tricky moments, and sometimes the children get upset. Based on the Ready or Not research project, which collected different viewpoints on school readiness, this book helps children identify and reflect on their emotions and manage difficult feelings.

Representing neurodiversity in the classroom, this storybook is a creative tool to foster hope and resilience for children starting school and will be invaluable for parents, teachers and carers supporting this important transition, and those wanting to facilitate conversations about the emotional highs and lows of a day at school.

For effective use, this book should be purchased alongside the accompanying professional guide, The Psychology of Starting School: An Evidence-Based Guide for Parents and Teachers [9781032211497].

Maps of Invisibility is the very first book about the artist Hilma af Klint and her work for children. It is a book not only about art, but also about magic, mysticism and scientific discoveries. Moreover, it is a story about a woman who was left out of art history books for a long time, despite creating her abstract images long before anyone else.

Hilma af Klint (1862 1944) began painting her non-descriptive and very symbolic images as early as 1906. That was years before Kandinsky and Malevitj arrived at what is generally regarded as the birth of modern abstract art. She was heavily influenced by spiritual ideologies and claimed that she painted on instruction from the spirit world, for the future. The interest in Hilma af Klint has grown massively during the past few years. Her work will be displayed in exhibitions and museums all over the world during many years to come. The exhibition of her art at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2019 attracted more visitors than they had ever had and the exhibition catalogue became their best selling one to date.

Maps of Invisibility is highly illustrated with both quality reproductions of Hilma af Klint s work and with illustrations by Karin Eklund.
