The Mending Set | Three Books About Mistakes, Repair and Coming Back

The Oops · The Way Back · Everyone is Feeling Something

Most books about feelings stop at the feeling. These three are about what comes after it.

The Oops is about the hot, sinking moment when something breaks and a child believes they have broken too — and the mended pot that goes back on the shelf with its crack still showing. The Way Back is about the big feeling that lifts a child clean off the floor, and the route down again, one small move at a time, with nobody saying calm down. And Everyone is Feeling Something widens it out: eleven busy places, hundreds of beans, and the quiet discovery that every single person in the room is carrying something, including the ones who look fine.

Together they make a point worth more than any one of them: that things going wrong is not the end of anything. What children learn from is not the absence of the wobble. It is the coming back.

Two paperback picture books and one look-and-find. For children aged four to eight.
