Tilda Tries Again: A Big Bright Feelings Book

Product Information

Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots. One day Tilda's world turns upside down and suddenly everything is more difficult than it used to be. This is redeemed by the idea that things were still not 100% straight even after Tilda tried harder and the notion that you should not give up even when things are emotionally challenging. I think these books are amazing, necessary and perfect for small kids to start getting familiar with different feelings and emotions. As soon as I saw Tom Percival had published this, I have been wanting to get my hands on a copy and it did not disappoint!

Tilda Tries Again (Big Bright Feelings) by Tom Percival

It was the first book that I remember loving and was (guess what) atmospheric, magical and slightly dark. This book deals with depression/being in a difficult situation in general, which I think is great to see in a children's book.

Another tremendous triumph from Tom Percival with Tilda Tries Again - dare I say it might even be my Big Bright Feelings picture book yet! Reading about Tilda in a book allowed for a new viewpoint rather than the same reassurances from mum and dad.

The youngsters directed their father from the TV gallery, helped count down and shouted ‘action’ when the cameras started rolling. Can’t wait till March 2022 for it to be published in the US so that I could finally share it with my students!
