Lemur Feels Let Down - A book about disappointment (Behaviour Matters)

£8.99

Lemur Feels Let Down is a gentle, emotionally supportive picture book that helps children understand and cope with feelings of disappointment, sadness, and unmet expectations.

When things don’t turn out the way Lemur hoped, the feelings are heavy and confusing. Lemur feels let down—and it hurts. Through reassurance, reflection, and kindness, Lemur learns that disappointment is a normal part of life, and that feelings can be expressed, supported, and worked through rather than ignored.
