Tom Shark

by Teighan Laino

Book Overview

Tom is a strong and successful shark. But beneath the surface he is struggling an inner battle - oceans of emotions swirling inside him. He keeps these feelings to himself, until one day it all becomes too much, and he swims away...

In this powerful and thought-provoking story, Tom's family and friends come together to spread the important message of mental health and how to reach out for support. Written in rhyme and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, this book reveals the depths of sadness, depression, and grief, while also offering hope and healing through teaching readers ways to support their mental health and how to be kind to themselves.

Almost every young person will be impacted directly or indirectly by a mental illness at some point in their lives. Education and discussion about hard topics can encourage more connection with your children and these are important mental health tools. With a list of affirmations and additional resources, this book helps parents and carers to support their kids in building resilience.
