And here's a special message from Michael, the author of this book:

"I wrote this book because I've found writing about my state of mind to be incredibly helpful and enjoyable simultaneously. Sometimes, it's been because I've been troubled—devastated even, as when my son passed away. Other times, I've wanted to celebrate and remember the great times I've had. The help it's given me comes from seeing myself reflected back at me. This helps me view myself with some degree of detachment, which enables me to put myself into the company of others, other people who may have experienced this pain or joy too. Togetherness feels better than isolation. I wanted to share these ideas with young people because I know mental health is a big issue for many young people, and I hope this book will help them."

Collins Big Cat is more than just a collection of books; it's a pathway to a world of imagination, knowledge, and personal growth. Let your child embark on this incredible reading journey with us and discover the power of words to inspire, educate, and transform.
