Families Change with Mia and Boo

A gentle children's book about family change, big feelings and emotional wellbeing.

When Mia notices that Mummy and Daddy seem different, she begins to worry. Her tummy feels all swirly, her heart beats faster and she isn't sure what to do. With Boo by her side and the support of safe grown-ups, Mia discovers that children never have to carry grown-ups' worries on their own.

Families Change with Mia and Boo is a beautifully illustrated watercolour children's picture book that helps young children understand family change, new routines, big feelings and the importance of talking to a trusted adult.

Whether a parent is returning to work, routines are changing, or family life feels different, Mia and Boo gently reassure children that their feelings matter and that they are safe, loved and supported.

Perfect for children aged 3–8, this story encourages emotional resilience, confidence and open conversations at home, in schools and in counselling settings.

• Family changes and new routines
