For the last few years, Iβve featured some books that Iβve helped create over the year, in my 12 days of Christmas showcase.
Iβve also linked this page to the the #BookMates Bookshop – which is inspired by all of my authors within the Writersβ Refinery Facebook group (come and join us if youβre not already a member, itβs totally free and a great place to meet other authory people, plus those who are just starting out on their writers journey)

Day 1 of the 12 days of Christmas – and we have @holly_taylor_author and her debut book The Magic Inside of Me, illustrated by the very talented @georgie.maia
This book is perfect for those parents with children just starting primary school as it helps them transition from feelings of being scared… to confidence. The mind monkeys are super cute but Holly tackles how to overcome them when they cause feelings of worry in children.
