Biggle-Dink: Big Feelings - out NEXT WEEK! Over the past few months we've been working with local author Jamie Payne, the creator of Biggle Dink, and we are delighted to announce that he's created a book for us called Big Feelings. The book is aimed for children aged 8 and under and aims to help children explore various feelings but focuses on how to manage anger safely. Find out more when Jamie speaks to Chris Goreham on BBC Radio Norfolk at 0940 on Wednesday here: https://lnkd.in/enWn8mKk (You can Listen again here too if you missed the show) The book is a resource to help bereaved children manage how they feel, but has been written so any child can read it alone or with an adult to help them learn how to manage big feelings too. It's thanks to the following businesses who have sponsored the book that this project has been possible: Cromer Pier Dann's Orchard Toys Ltd Yellow Brick Mortgages Ltd SANDERS COACHES LIMITED The book will go on sale from w/c 27th May and will retail at £6.99 with 100% of the profits raised by Jamie to be donated to Nelson’s Journey. It will be stocked at Cromer Pier and in Roys (Wroxham) Limited and their stores in Bowthorpe, Dereham, North Walsham and Magdalen Street too. It will also be available to purchase online at https://lnkd.in/eDqje49G If you'd like to meet the author, Jamie will be signing books at Roys of Wroxham on Thursday 30th May from 11 am and at the Cromer Pier 60’s event on Saturday 8th June too.
