💬 say hello 👋🏻

💬 what if feeling brave didn’t mean doing it alone?

meet lemon cakes — a duckling with a wobbly hat and a big heart — co-created in therapy with a particular brave spark, this special mother’s day story honours the quiet magic of mums who help their children feel safe in the world.

🎧 includes:
 – a playful therapeutic story
 – reflection questions to explore together
 – calming ideas for home, school, or therapy

🎙️ part of brave sparks — co-created in therapy, shaped by children’s voices, strengths, and needs ✨
