The Magic Moment

By: Niall Breslin

Narrated by: Emma Lowe

Freddie is excited about his first trip to the swimming pool. But when he gets there, he finds it scary. So scary in fact, that he just wants to go home …

Later that evening, Nana teaches him a secret trick. It’s called the Magic Moment Trick and it gives you superpowers when you’re facing something scary. You simply close your eyes, think of your happiest memory and squeeze your finger and thumb together.

Critic reviews

'The sort of book that could be genuinely helpful to an anxious child.' (The Irish Times)

'The Magic Moment Trick described in this book is a simple mindfulness technique to help children manage big feelings. It would make a very good classbased resource for an early primary-school setting, where feelings of fear could be discussed and explored.' (Children's Books Ireland)

'A book with an important message.' (Irish Independent)
