There are so many parents navigating thorny educational systems who might feel exhausted, misunderstood, unheard, frustrated, alone and much more. This book speaks to some of those parents. It is written in an accessible and engaging way by a parent for parents to offer them a much needed sense of solidarity, support, and understanding. -Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist, Trainer, and Author of multiple books.

I adore Elizas words, especially paired with her illustrations which offer a glimpse into the intricate dynamics of raising sensitive children in the modern world. She simplifies grand concepts allowing them to land directly into my heart. All of her books inspire this. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the families of the world. -Kirsten M.
