Press reviews for: Be the Jellyfish Training Manual
Deborah M. Plummer, author of Helping Children to Build Self-Esteem and Inspiring and Creative Ideas for Working with Children.
What a wonderful resource - creative, enlightened and highly accessible. Cree and Brogden have captured vital elements inherent in the development and growth of social and emotional wellbeing and produced a comprehensive, fun approach which is respectful of each child's imagination and where no child's contributions are 'right' or 'wrong'. Highly recommended!

Packed with ideas and easy-to-access plans and resources, it will preempt many of the questions adults may have when approaching this vital aspect of learning whilst also recognising the importance of nurturing creativity in the classroom.
Katherine Weare, Professor, University of Southampton. Author of Happy Teachers Change the World.
This clear, practical and inspirational book is a gift to those who work with young children. It skilfully integrates some novel approaches to social and emotional learning, such as relaxation, movement, creativity and visualisation to cultivate and nurture wellbeing in spirits, hearts - and bodies - as well as minds.
