It’s good to talk!
“Hello, I am the Tell-Me Tree. Why don’t you come and sit by me…”
The Tell-Me Tree is a gentle picture book for ages 4-8 that invites children to share how they are feeling – whether happy, sad or anywhere in between – through conversation, drawings and/or writing.
In so doing it encourages discussion of feelings and emotions with friends, family and trusted grown-ups in a natural and positive way.

The Tell-Me Tree includes free download links to a choice of Tell-Me Tree posters for use at home or in the classroom (including one where children can add their own friends or family beneath the tree!), fun templates to help children draw their own tree, and links to resources for grown-ups if you’re worried about a child and need help or guidance.
The beautiful pen and ink drawings are by my great friend Anne Swift, who provided the equally stunning illustrations for The Christmas Tree Wish. ❤️
The tree that inspired The Tell-Me Tree
The initial inspiration for The Tell-Me Tree came after I spotted a face in the trunk of a majestic London Plane tree close to where I live in Barnes, south west London. However, I had to wait three years before the rest of the story found its way to me!

While The Tell-Me Tree is principally aimed at ages 4-8, many who have read it have told me they think it could work well with older children too – or adults even! 😊
