My school day looks more like a prison sentence. There's a maths test later, and I'm rubbish at maths. I've even left my English homework on the kitchen table and that means trouble with Mr Tinns.

School can be a difficult and stressful place for a child, and sometimes they just need a little bit of help to manage it all. That's where Arty comes in. He's an inner coach, here to help each child achieve their very best.

Offering children a creative way of helping to manage their own worries, Arty will help show children that they're not alone in their struggles and that they always have choices, even when stuff happens that they don't like. With practical guidance for parents and teachers on how to use the book and specific coaching activities, it is perfect for children aged 8-12, especially those who have a fear of failure.

This book has been graded for interest at 8-11 years.
