'This is a breath of fresh air to gently blow over your kids when their little worries seem too big to manage. Simple, Sweet and True. Perhaps there is a message for us all in there too’.
Fay Ripley, Actress & Recipe Author
'What a lovely book! The drawings are beautiful and the story’s a delight! As a mindfulness resource, I could see it working really well to open conversations with kids about emotions and about feeling connected versus disconnected with ourselves and with the outside world'
Lyndsay, Lead Facilitator at Youth Mindfulness
'First thing I want to say is, it really opened my heart and feelings. And it was a lovely, nice, awesome book. I like that the boy was not too mean, not too nice, just in the middle.'
Andreas, aged 8
'Sam Goddard and Owen Williams have simply and beautifully created a powerful aide-mémoire for adults and a wonderful window for children — a definite cloud clearer in this often far too cluttered world.'
Christopher Rowley, Film Director
'Beautifully and tenderly written with superb illustrations. A joy for adults and children alike.'
Jackie Rees, Reiki Master Teacher
'A tender story for the tender-hearted. Lovely words and illustrations. A must read.'
Dr Anna Walker
'Well I found it very interesting. It really made me have an open mind and express my feelings. I love how Ray is his own key. Sometimes I don't look-up in the sky, I look down on the ground when I am sad.'
Margot aged 7
'Finding Ray’s Key is a beautifully written and illustrated book, which delivers a very important message to us all. As a KS1 primary school teacher I have used Ray’s journey to promote good mental health in an accessible and fun way. My children love the pictures and how the book gets more colourful as Ray finds his happiness. A clever and delightful read with a message we
all need to remember.'
Tilley Martin, KS1 Primary School Teacher
'A little ray of sunshine we could all use in our lives. A beautiful book with a very important message.'
