Description

Moffles are tiny, fluffy creatures, who carry the colours of their emotions in their fur, for all the world to read like a storybook. Tippy Moffle is very young but already she has become so scared and hurt that she has learned to hide away all her feelings deep inside. She hides her feelings so deeply, that her fur has become dull and grey. Can a new mummy and a new home help Tippy to feel safe and become a multicoloured Moffle again? 

The child who has had a difficult start in life will identify with the complex world of feelings, beautifully illustrated in the changing colours of Tippy’s fur. The delightful Moffles are sure to enchant children of all ages.’  - Kim S Golding (CBE), Clinical Psychologist and author of Using Stories to Build Bridges with Traumatized Children

I absolutely loved this book and think it could be relatable to so many kids. It very tastefully touches upon depression and foster homes. I think that it could be used for social emotional learning as well as for inference because there is a lot not directly said in the story. I will be buying this book for sure!

This is a lovely story helping children understand about different feelings and also introducing children to adoption or fostering. The illustrations are great

This is a beautiful story, despite being really really sad.
It talks about a little moffle that is taken away from her mummy, and placed with a new mummy moffle, and how she then comes out of her shell and becomes more like herself.
This is all explained simply through colours which is very efficient and very effective.
Great read :)

Tippy Moffle's Mirror is a beautifully written and illustrated book which tells of Tippy Moffle whose Tummy Mummy is unable to look after her so she goes to live with New Mummy Moffle and all the emotions Tippy feels towards her Tummy Mummy and then her adoption. It is written in a way that young children will understand and as a Mum to a 4 year adopted son I can understand New Mummy Moffles feeling too. The phrases used such as Tummy Mummy are the same phrases I use with my son and he loved hearing about Tippy as, even though he is a little young to understand everything in both his and Tippy's situations, he could relate to the fact that he and Tippy are similar.
It is a lovely story for all children but especially adopted children who can relate to the feelings.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy.
