Description
Rosie Rudey loves chocolate. It's her very favourite food, and it helps fill the empty feelings in her tummy. When her stupid siblings annoy her, Rosie wants nothing more than to eat lots and lots of chocolate.
One day, Rosie takes all of her family's chocolate and forms her own enormous chocolate mountain. She thinks it is beautiful and it takes away all her fuzzy feelings. But then suddenly, there's no chocolate left! And now Rosie is going to throw up. Luckily, Mum understands why Rosie acts this way.
Written by a mum who understands, and her daughter, who is adopted, this endearing story will help your whole family to feel a bit better.

--I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are purely my own and not influenced in any way.--
I should preface this by saying that I am not a child psychologist or really work with troubled children, but I think that this book will really help children who hoard and binge food understand why they do what they do and how to combat it as well as educate parents/foster parents on the subject. The illustrations are not the best, but their simplicity makes it seem more genuine and childlike. Overall, this is a book not necessarily for every child, but for the children it speaks to, this book I would recommend.

Another lovely story for children who struggle with attachment and high cortisol levels. This is explained very simply in the book and would be easy to understand for younger children, giving them a reason for always needing food. Recognising the survival instinct and naming it could be helpful for children who struggle.
